Welcome to LandScope California
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because California is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

Conservation Overview

California Conservation Summary
With its mild climate, rich soils, and abundant resources, California must have seemed very much like paradise to early explorers and settlers, leading to an uneasy alliance between myth and reality in the Golden State. Yet most would be pressed hard to conjure up a more fascinating cast of characters than those emanating from the evolutionary crucible of natural California.
Conservation Priorities in California
-
California Wildlife Action Plan
California's Wildlife Action Plan draws upon decades of conservation efforts and recommends conservation actions based on sound science and stakeholder involvement. The Plan continues an ecosystem approach to conservation issues that recognizes the interdependence of multiple species and their habitats.
