The Conservation Efforts Database (CED) has evolved and expanded in recent years, adding newfeatures, functions, and two new modules to track recovery of federally-listed species. The developmentneeds identified by our partners require additional outreach and training to ensure the CED is populatedand information is readily available for policy and management decision support. Currently, thoseoutreach and training needs have not been met given turnover and lack of capacity. Support for thisproposal would significantly increase the ability of USFWS and USGS to increase awareness of the CED,share updates on outputs and associated products, and deliver the updated training materials neededfor data-providing partners to efficiently enter data in the CED.
