The 2023 Midwest Conservation Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation in the Midwest. It consists of over 20 social and environmental values that represent diverse interests across society. It guides the realization of a thriving landscape of healthy lands and waters supporting wildlife, fish, and plants, embraced by all who live, work, and recreate in the Midwest. Specifically, it serves as an invitation to all those in the Midwest to better coordinate voluntary conservation actions and investments across the region by focusing and aligning conservation work across jurisdictions, attracting and directing funding sources for conservation, and connecting with conservation partners and...

Research on coastal change in Western Alaska has increased rapidly in recent years, making it challenging to track existing projects, understand their cumulative insights, gauge remaining research gaps, and prioritize future research. This project identified existing coastal change projects in Western Alaska that were happening in 2014, scheduled for 2015 or occured in 2012-2014. The report (below) provides a synthesis of information about each project category, and an associated online database (see ACCAP project page link below) describes individual projects and information on how to contact the project leader. These products document the project landscape for communities facing change, decision-makers navigating...

The Combined Zonation Results is an output of the prioritization process of the Midwest Landscape Initiative’s (MLI) 2023 Midwest Conservation Blueprint. The Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation across the Midwest consisting of over 20 social and environmental values representing diverse interests across society. We synthesize these input datasets in the spatial prioritization software Zonation v5. Each input data set corresponds to a targetable, important feature that represents at least one ecological or societal priority on the landscape. The output of the prioritization analysis seen in this layer is a representation of the priority of each pixel, ranked from a value of 0 to 1,...
This zipped folder contains the primary spatial data inputs, development process report, code, and primary outputs for the Midwest Conservation Blueprint 2023.
The Midwest Conservation Blueprint Ecoregions are an input for the Midwest Landscape Initiative’s (MLI) 2023 Midwest Conservation Blueprint. Before calculating the regional priority areas for conservation, we stratify the Midwest Landscape into Ecoregions. This polygon layer contains the spatial boundaries of the ecoregions used for the stratification. Breaking down the Midwest Landscape into Ecoregions reduces processing time of our spatial planning software and ensures a fairer comparison of indicators across an ecologically diverse region. By stratifying the landscape, each map pixel will only be compared and prioritized in relation to other pixels of the same ecosystem type. Ecoregional boundaries are based...

Natural Assets is an input of the Midwest Landscape Initiative’s (MLI) 2023 Midwest Conservation Blueprint. The Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation across the Midwest consisting of over 20 social and environmental values representing diverse interests across society. For our low-resolution indicators, we use this layer to emphasize natural assets within the indicator data. Any dataset with a coarser resolution than 30m pixels was considered to be low-resolution. This input layer originates from the LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type layer, the National Conservation Easement Database, and the Protected Areas Database. To create this layer, MLI partners, members, and staff completed...

The Alaska Data Integration Working Group (ADIwg) Metadata Toolkit is an open source, suite of web applications for authoring and editing metadata for both spatial and non-spatial projects and datasets. The main goal of the toolkit is to promote the creation and use of metadata by lowering the level of technical expertise required to produce archival quality metadata.mdJSON is the metadata format ties the suite of tools together. The mdEditor is an open source client-side web application design to allow users to manage metadata for projects and data products. The mdEditor may be used to create mdJSON and interface with the mdTranslator to output metadata in multiple standards, including ISO 19115-2, 19115-1, 19110,...
