Title: Mapping Tools for Policy Decisions

Description:

Nate will be talking about Californianature.ca.gov and specifically the CA Nature component of it that supports both the state’s 30×30 and Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategies. From their website, “CA Nature is an online Geographic Information System (or GIS), that collects a suite of publicly accessible interactive digital mapping tools and data. This collection of tools brings together maps of biodiversity, climate change, and public access so we can view and analyze features of the landscape from a single site. It allows us to identify places across California where we have the opportunity to achieve our biodiversity, climate, and equity goals. The State will use CA Nature to assess what percentage of California is already conserved and track progress toward our goal.”
