Welcome to LandScope Nevada
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because Nevada is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

Nevada Wildlife Action Plan
Nevada's diversity of life is derived from its geography: the many mountain ranges are effectively isolated from one another by arid and treeless basins. This makes Nevada uniquely challenged in developing effective wildlife conservation programs. The state's Wildlife Action Plan describes 27 key habitat types, their values to wildlife, land uses within the habitats, and problems facing the habitats and the species within them. This information provides support to the goals, objectives and actions presented in the plan.
