Over the last 10 years a large number of geospatial databases have come on-line to help scientists, land managers, environmental organizations, and the general public evaluate environmental conditions over scales ranging from small communities to the entire globe. This increased availability of spatial data has also been responsible for significant improvement in environmental decisions including: identification of critical habitat for important wildlife species, establishment of priorities for habitat conservation, development of water quality watershed conservation plans, wildfire analysis and predication, and the evaluation of environmental theme conservation options.

Combining spatial data with easy access to landscape analysis tools is the next step in enhancing environmental analyses, conservation strategies, and vulnerability/risk reduction strategies. Therefore the primary purpose of this site is to provide quick access to a wide-range of landscape analysis tools.

This site is intended to support and encourage the sharing of both tools and data associated with various landscape analysis activities. We encourage you to add information to this site.
