Conservation Efforts Database: Improving knowledge of landscape conservation actions

View fact sheet.

The CONSERVATION EFFORTS DATABASE (CED) was codeveloped by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC):

• USFWS provided a comprehensive ecological assessment separated by threats and efforts, and database structure based on user needs.
• USGS provided database and website design expertise building off of the Land Treatment Digital Library.
• GNLCC provided ecological, database, and GIS expertise, greatly enhancing CED capabilities.

Many state and federal partners provided input and feedback, ranging from design recommendations to policy sideboards, ensuring the CED has broad applicability and interoperability.
