The challenge posed by the 30x30\ninitiative, is to plan and implement conservation strategies which allow all\nCalifornians to continue to flourish and succeed, while also ensuring that we\nsafeguard the great abundance of species which reside in this state, and in\nmany cases, exist nowhere else on Earth. \u00a0<br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>Maximizing the benefits of 30x30 for everyone requires,\namong many other factors, deliberate consideration of the landscape and the\nways in which biodiversity is distributed within it. This Explorer introduces\nseveral types of biodiversity data for stakeholders to consider when engaged in\nconservation planning.\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>The Biodiversity Explorer includes dashboards for the Areas of Conservation\nEmphasis (ACE) and Habitat and Land Cover datasets. These allow deeper\nexplorations of the state\u2019s exceptional biodiversity and the current state of conservation\nby land cover.</p>\n\n<p>The Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) dashboard presents\nsummaries of species data collected and analyzed by the California Department\nof Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) as part of its ongoing ACE project. ACE rolls\nmultiple types of Species Richness into a Biodiversity Index, and also\nconsiders Connectivity, Climate Resilience, and Significant Habitats, all\nimportant factors to species and ecological health.\u00a0</p><p>\nThe Habitat and Land Cover dashboard presents maps and summaries of land cover\naccording to categories defined by the California Wildlife Habitat Relationship\nSystem (CWHR) maintained by CDFW. Conserving connected networks of all land\ncover types is key to conserving the species which depend upon them. The\nHabitat and Land Cover dashboard shows the percentage that each land cover type\ncomprises within a county or ecoregion, and the degree to which it falls within\nalready conserved areas.\u00a0\u00a0</p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://gis.data.cnra.ca.gov/apps/CAnature::biodiversity-explorer-1", "format": "HTML", "title": "ArcGIS Hub Dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/a18f7afb32784a29a4bbb88b570bc2a3", "format": "ArcGIS GeoServices REST API", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream", "title": "ArcGIS GeoService"}], "identifier": "8f42eb49-015a-41bd-a1c9-aa0beed23624", "issued": "2022-03-21T19:50:00.000Z", "keyword": ["30x30", "CA Nature", "CAOpenData", "CCED", "CPAD", "California Natural Resources Agency", "Conservation", "Conserved Areas", "Marine", "Terrestrial", "california natural resources agency"], "license": "http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by", "modified": "2025-03-06T00:04:46.000Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "California Natural Resources Agency"}, "theme": ["Natural Resources"], "title": "Biodiversity Explorer"}
