Welcome to LandScope Missouri
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 Missouri 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

Missouri Conservation Summary
Missouri is where the prairies of the Great Plains meet the deciduous woodlands of the eastern United States, and where the two largest rivers in North America, the Missouri and Mississippi, join up. The state has produced a framework for focusing conservation efforts on these and other key landscapes in order to conserve Missouri's wide array of biodiversity.

Missouri Wildlife Action Plan
Invasive exotic plants and animals, development and urbanization, fire suppression, and diminishing water quality are all threats to Missouri's wildlife populations and the natural systems on which they depend. The state's Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy identifies 33 "Conservation Opportunity Areas" and provides guidance for the effective and efficient long-term conservation of Missouri's biodiversity.
