Welcome to LandScope Wyoming
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 Wyoming 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

Wyoming Conservation Summary
Wyoming as we know it now is a rather recent beast: there was a lot of shifting and changing going on during the Pleistocene, and things didn't really resolve into their current form until about 8,000 years ago. It is a place where grasslands give way to sagebrush oceans, where jagged peaks rise high above verdant valleys, and where wildlife thrive. But not without impending threats to their continued survival.
Conservation Priorities in Wyoming

Wyoming Wildlife Action Plan
Wyoming lies at the intersection of seven major ecoregions and at the headwaters of three major river systems. The diversity and abundance of wildlife habitats in Wyoming is unparalleled in the interior West, yet little is known about the distribution, habitat, biology, and population of more than 200 species of greatest conservation need in the state.
