“The Conservation Almanac covers land area conservation activity across the United States. The project grew out of the many requests The Trust for Public Land has received for data to understand the “context” for land conservation and the growing conservation finance movement. {It] is a work in progress with data updated monthly. All states contain data from 1998 to 2005. As of Jan 2010, data for the following states have been updated through 2008: Montana, Oregon, Massachusetts, Florida, and Missouri. Those states also allow users to display data and conservation activity on the interactive map. Users can visualize where conservation investments are being made, how a state’s conservation activity compares with other states, and where new policy developments are taking place. For the first time, users can view county-level conservation spending.”
