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.
