Nature's Network
|
Nature’s Network is a collaborative effort that brings together partners from 13 states, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, nongovernmental organizations, and universities to identify the best opportunities for conserving and connecting intact habitats and ecosystems and supporting imperiled species to help ensure the future of fish and wildlife across the Northeast region.
Go to the Product(s)The Nature's Network conservation design integrates numerous datasets to highlight conservation priorities across the region on a single interactive map, but users can also access and explore the individual datasets and decision-support tools that make up the conservation decision. All of these products are available on the Nature's Network website.
