Summary

This dataset compiles land ownership and management data from state and federal agencies to create a map showing ownership, management, and conservation status of all land in Alaska. State, federal, and private lands, including Native corporations and Native allotments, are included. Conservation status describes the degree to which land, particularly public land, is legally designated and explicitly managed for biodiversity conservation. The most common classification, developed by the USGS GAP Program (www.gap.uidaho.edu), classifies land management types into four conservation status categories according to the degree to which the land is explicitly managed for conservation. In general, conservation status 1 and 2 lands have a stronger [...]

Purpose

The Nature Conservancy in Alaska created this data set in order to analyze how land in Alaska is managed for biodiversity. The Nature Conservancy identifies places in Alaska that are important for the long-term conservation of Alaska's biodiversity. This analysis was part of The Nature Conservancy's project to design a Statewide Blueprint for Conservation in Alaska. For more about the statewide blueprint for Alaska, see nature.org/alaska.
