Colorado Gap Analysis
Project
Overview of the Gap Analysis Project:
Gap analysis is a scientific method for identifying the degree to
which native animal species and natural communities are represented
in our present-day mix of conservation lands. Those species and
communities not adequately represented in the existing network of
conservation lands constitute conservation "gaps." The
purpose of the Gap Analysis Program (GAP) is to provide broad geographic
information on the status of ordinary species (those not threatened
with extinction or naturally rare) and their habitats in order to
provide land managers, planners, scientists, and policy makers with
the information they need to make better-informed decisions. The
Colorado Gap Analysis Project (CO-GAP) was initiated in 1991 as
a cooperative effort, led by the Colorado Division of Wildlife in
collaboration with the Natural Resource Ecology Center (NERC/USFWS),
and state, federal, and private natural resources groups in Colorado.

Land Survey Information Service
The Land Survey Information System or LSIS is
the official government Web site for the distribution of the Public
Land Survey System (PLSS) of the United States. The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) cadastral survey program is responsible for the
official boundary surveys for all federal agencies in the U.S. that
together manage over 700 million acres. The Public Land Survey System
also called the Rectangular Survey System is the foundation for
many survey-based land information systems.

The Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS)
The Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS)
website provides mapping, data, information, and links to similar
websites concerning hunting, fishing, wildlife, habitat, and conservation
planning issues in Colorado. The NDIS website is designed
to provide these services for multiple audiences with differing
needs and levels of subject expertise.
