Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) National Assessment

Great Plains GIS Partnership (G²P²) habitat modeling

The Great Plains GIS Partnership (G²P²) is a collaborative effort between the Playa Lakes Joint Venture, Rainwater Basin Joint Venture, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Central Platte Natural Resources District.  G²P² was formed to improve cooperation, communication, reduce redundancy, and accelerate the application of GIS technology towards landscape level planning for wildlife conservation. 

USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service has entered into an agreement among the Playa Lakes Joint Venture and USDA Farm Service Agency in order to develop a collaborative assessment of the effects of USDA conservation programs and practices on avian fauna in Bird Conservation Region 19 (Central Mixed-grass Prairie) in support of the CEAP Wildlife Component.  This agreement enables CEAP to leverage existing GIS technology and landscape habitat modeling resources of G²P² to obtain scientifically credible estimates of habitat contributions for priority bird species in the Great Plains attributable to USDA conservation programs and practices.
