This dataset shows special designations within the ecoregion. These include protected areas (from CBI Protected Areas Database) with GAP status 1 or 2 (generally, highly protected lands), conservation easements, and roadless areas. This dataset includes a few additional features not yet publicly available in the official version of the CBI Protected Areas Database. These features were specifically added to this dataset for use in the BLM REA in advance of the regular update cycle of that dataset.
