Summary
This geospatial layer is a spatial index for the Conservation Efforts Database (CED, https://conservationefforts.org/), serving as a spatial framework for summary reports by area (a.k.a. polygon). In addition, this SRU (Sagebrush Reporting Unit) data is an option for data providers to provide spatial ambiguity to alleviate concerns of too much spatial detail representing private landowners’ efforts efforts and to protect Personally Identifiable Information. This option allows CED data providers to pick a predetermined SRU instead of submitting the explicit effort boundary. These SRUs are large enough to provide spatial ambiguity and obscure private landowner locations. This SRU data is in the format of a GIS polygon layer and is an [...]
Summary
This geospatial layer is a spatial index for the Conservation Efforts Database (CED, https://conservationefforts.org/), serving as a spatial framework for summary reports by area (a.k.a. polygon). In addition, this SRU (Sagebrush Reporting Unit) data is an option for data providers to provide spatial ambiguity to alleviate concerns of too much spatial detail representing private landowners’ efforts efforts and to protect Personally Identifiable Information. This option allows CED data providers to pick a predetermined SRU instead of submitting the explicit effort boundary. These SRUs are large enough to provide spatial ambiguity and obscure private landowner locations. This SRU data is in the format of a GIS polygon layer and is an aggregate of USGS partner’s lek cluster layer, BLM HAF data modified by Oregon, Idaho layers, and CED development team modification for CED purposes.
