ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Biden administration has released an interactive map of ecosystem and conservation data across the nation. Environmental advocates are excited about the tool they say will help track conservation efforts.
“This is an exciting day for the country. We’ve been eagerly anticipating a comprehensive tool to track land conservation since it was first mentioned at the beginning of President Biden’s first term,” the Center for Western Priorities Executive Director Jennifer Rokala said in a press release. “Since then, the president has taken historic measures to protect public lands, for which we are very grateful. Now we have a way to track our progress as a nation as we work to meet the goal of protecting 30 percent of American lands and waters by 2030.
The map shows locations of ungulate migration, essential fish areas, and impaired waters, among other things. You can also toggle on climate data, like daily temperature and annual temperature.
