Description: <p style="box-sizing:border-box; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px;">Use of this tool is to identify the extents of landscape scale partnerships and LCDs that might be in the area of FWS personnel and visualize the extent of ongoing landscape - scale planning efforts that may inform the AtB goal of conserving 30% of US lands and water by 2030. The ability to identify these plans can assist in conservation planning processes as well as engagement in the partnership.
