    Biodiversity Explorer User Guide

    Metadata Updated: July 24, 2025

    The Biodiversity Explorer is a set of maps and summary information on species, natural communities, and habitat types tracked by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Information is drawn from several key datasets of the Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) project, and multiple vegetation mapping efforts across the state. A user can define an area of interest within an ecoregion to concurrently view aggregated landscape rankings from several ACE biodiversity indices, or view statistics on the conservation status of habitat types from within the Habitat and Land Cover dashboard.
