{ "currentVersion": 10.41, "serviceDescription": "The Secured Areas dataset shows public and private lands that are permanently secured against conversion to development through fee ownership, easements, or conservation focused designations (GAP 1-3). GAP status is a classification developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, to reflect the intent of the landowner or easement holder. GAP 1 and 2 are commonly thought of as \u201cprotected\u201d for nature and natural processes, while GAP 3 are \u201cmultiple-use\u201d lands.

The Secured Areas dataset is a TNC product created primarily for estimating current extent and status of secured lands with a conservation focus, GAP 1-3. It also includes a set of more temporary easement and GAP 4 open space lands not permanently secured for conservation. These non-GAP1-3 lands are less comprehensively mapped given the lack of their inclusion in some primary source datasets, but they are included as available in our source datasets.

TNC compiled these data from state, federal, and private sources and assigned a GAP Status and other standard attribute fields to the best of our ability. It represents our best compilation of existing protected areas across the lower 48 U.S. states. Any updates, corrections, or discrepancies with respect to official versions of source federal, state, or local protected areas databases should be viewed as provisional until such time as such changes have been reviewed and accepted by the official data stewards for those other protected areas databases.", "mapName": "Layers", "description": "", "copyrightText": "The Nature Conservancy, Center for Resilient Conservation Science. 2024.
