- Abstract The Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is a geodatabase, managed by USGS GAP, that illustrates and describes
public land ownership, management and other conservation lands, including voluntarily provided privately protected areas.
The State, Regional and LCC geodatabases contain two feature classes. The PADUS1_3_FeeEasement feature class and the national
MPA feature class. Legitimate and other protected area overlaps exist in the full inventory, with Easements loaded on top
of Fee. Parcel data within a protected area are dissolved in this file that powers the PAD-US Viewer. As overlaps exist, GAP
creates separate analytical layers to summarize area statistics for "GAP Status Code" and "Owner Name". Contact the PAD-US
Coordinator for more information. The lands included in PAD-US are assigned conservation measures that qualify their intent
to manage lands for the preservation of biological diversity and to other natural, recreational and cultural uses; managed
for these purposes through legal or other effective means. The geodatabase includes: 1) Geographic boundaries of public land
ownership and voluntarily provided private conservation lands (e.g., Nature Conservancy Preserves); 2) The combination land
owner, land manager, management designation or type, parcel name, GIS Acres and source of geographic information of each mapped
land unit 3) GAP Status Code conservation measure of each parcel based on USGS National Gap Analysis Program (GAP) protection
level categories which provide a measurement of management intent for long-term biodiversity conservation 4) IUCN category
for a protected area's inclusion into UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre's World Database for Protected Areas. IUCN
protected areas are defined as, "A clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or
other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values"
and are categorized following a classification scheme available through USGS GAP; 5) World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA)
Site Codes linking the multiple parcels of a single protected area in PAD-US and connecting them to the Global Community.
As legitimate and other overlaps exist in the combined inventory GAP creates separate analytical layers to obtain area statistics
for "GAP Status Code" and "Owner Name". PAD-US version 1.3 Combined updates include: 1) State, local government and private
protected area updates delivered September 2011 from PAD-US State Data Stewards: CO (Colorado State University), FL (Florida
Natural Areas Inventory), ID (Idaho Fish and Game), MA (The Commonwealth's Office of Geographic Information Systems, MassGIS),
MO (University of Missouri, MoRAP), MT (Montana Natural Heritage Program), NM (Natural Heritage New Mexico), OR (Oregon Natural
Heritage Program), VA (Department of Conservation and Recreation, Virginia Natural Heritage Program). 2) Select local government
(i.e. county, city) protected areas (3,632) across the country (to complement the current PAD-US inventory) aggregated by
the Trust for Public Land (TPL) for their Conservation Almanac that tracks the conservation finance movement across the country.
3) A new Date of Establishment field that identifies the year an area was designated or otherwise protected, attributed for
86% of GAP Status Code 1 and 2 protected areas. Additional dates will be provided in future updates. 4) A national wilderness
area update from wilderness.net 5) The Access field that describes public access to protected areas as defined by data stewards
or categorical assignment by Primary Designation Type. . The new Access Source field documents local vs. categorical assignments.
See the PAD-US Standard Manual for more information: gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus 6) The transfer of conservation measures (i.e.
GAP Status Codes, IUCN Categories) and documentation (i.e. GAP Code Source, GAP Code Date) from PAD-US version 1.2 or categorical
assignments (see PAD-US Standard) when not provided by data stewards 7) Integration of non-sensitive National Conservation
Easement Database (NCED) easements from August 2011, July 2012 with PAD-US version 1.2 easements. Duplicates were removed,
unless 'Stacked' = Y and multiple easements exist. 8) Unique ID's transferred from NCED or requested for new easements. NCED
and PAD-US are linked via Source UID in the PAD-US version 1.3 Easement feature class. 9) Official (member and eligible) MPAs
from the NOAA MPA Inventory (March 2011, www.mpa.gov) translated into the PAD-US schema with conservation measures transferred
from PAD-US version 1.2 or categorically assigned to new protected areas. Contact the PAD-US Coordinator for documentation
of categorical GAP Status Code assignments for MPAs. 10) Identified MPA records that overlap existing protected areas in the
PAD-US Fee feature class (i.e. PADUS Overlap field in MPA feature class). For example, many National Wildlife Refuges and
National Parks are also MPAs and are represented in the PAD-US MPA and Fee feature classes.
- Purpose Purpose: The mission of the USGS Gap Analysis Program (GAP) is to provide state, regional and national assessments of the
conservation status of native vertebrate species and natural land cover types and to facilitate the application of this information
to land management activities. The PAD-US geodatabase is required to organize and assess the management status (i.e. apply
GAP Status Codes) of elements of biodiversity protection. The goal of GAP is to keep common species common by identifying
species and plant communities not adequately represented in existing conservation lands. Common species are those not currently
threatened with extinction. By identifying their habitats, Gap Analysis gives land managers and policy makers the information
they need to make better-informed decisions when identifying priority areas for conservation. In cooperation with UNEP-World
Conservation Monitoring Centre, GAP ensures PAD-US also supports global analyses and policy decisions by maintaining World
Database for Protected Areas (WDPA) Site Codes and data for International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorized
protected areas in the United States. GAP seeks to increase the efficiency and accuracy of PAD-US updates by leveraging resources
in protected areas data aggregation and maintenance as described in "A Map of the Future", published following the PAD-US
Design Project (July, 2009) available at: gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus.

- Use Constraints It is strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from the U.S. Geological Survey Gap Analysis Program server,
and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. It is also strongly recommended that
careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file associated with these data. The U.S. Geological Survey shall
not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. All information is created
with a specific end use or uses in mind. This is especially true for GIS data, which is expensive to produce and must be directed
to meet the immediate program needs. However, these data were created with the expectation that they would be used for other
applications; therefore, we list below both appropriate and inappropriate uses. This list is in no way exhaustive but should
serve as a guide to assess whether a proposed use can or cannot be supported by these data. For many uses, it is unlikely
that PAD-US will provide the only data needed, and for uses with a regulatory outcome, field surveys should verify the result.
In the end, it will be the responsibility of each data user to determine if these data can answer the question being asked,
and if they are the best tool to answer that question. While it is impossible to predict all the uses of these data we have
listed several possible appropriate and inappropriate uses from GAP's perspective. The Nature Conservancy data were aggregated
with consideration for the following Access constraints: The Nature Conservancy reserves all rights to the TNC data provided.
All data are provided as is. The information provided is is not a survey quality dataset. The Nature Conservancy makes no
warranty as to the currency, completeness, accuracy or utility of any specific data. This disclaimer applies both to individual
use of the data and aggregate use with other data. It is strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents
of the metadata file associated with these data. Use constraints: The Nature Conservancy shall not be held liable for improper
or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Any sale, distribution, loan, or offering for use of these
digital data, in whole or in part, is prohibited without the approval of the Nature Conservancy. The use of these data to
produce other GIS products and services with the intent to sell for a profit is prohibited without the written consent of
the Nature Conservancy. All parties receiving these data must be informed of these restrictions. The Nature Conservancy shall
be acknowledged as data contributors to any reports or other products derived from these data. Appropriate uses of the data:
primarily as a coarse map for a large area such as a county or to provide context for finer-level maps. A general list of
possible applications include: -National, regional or statewide biodiversity planning -National, Regional or state habitat
conservation planning -County comprehensive planning -Large-area resource management planning -Coarse-filter evaluation of
potential impacts or benefits of major projects or plan initiatives on biodiversity, such as utility or transportation corridors,
wilderness proposals, habitat connectivity proposals, climate change adaption proposals, regional open space and recreation
proposals, etc. -Determining relative amounts of management responsibility for specific biological resources among land stewards
to facilitate cooperative management and planning. -Basic research on regional distributions of plants and animals and to
help target both specific species and geographic areas for needed research. -Environmental impact assessment for large projects
or military activities. -Estimation of potential economic impacts from loss of biological resource-based activities. -Education
at all levels and for both students and citizens. Inappropriate Uses: It is far easier to identify appropriate uses than inappropriate
ones, however, there is a "fuzzy line" that is eventually crossed when the differences in resolution of the data, size of
geographic area being analyzed, and precision of the answer required for the question are no longer compatible. Examples include:
-Using the data to map small areas (less than thousands of hectares), typically requiring mapping resolution at 1:24,000 scale
and using aerial photographs or ground surveys. -Combining these data with other data finer than 1:100,000 scale to produce
new hybrid maps or answer queries. -Generating specific areal measurements from the data finer than the nearest thousand hectares
-Establishing exact boundaries for regulation or acquisition. -Establishing definite occurrence or non-occurrence of any feature
for an exact geographic area -Determining abundance, health, or condition of any feature. -Establishing a measure of accuracy
of any other data by comparison with GAP data. -Altering the data in any way and redistributing them as a GAP data product.
-Using the data without acquiring and reviewing the metadata and this report.

- Enumerated Domain
-
- Enumerated Domain Value 1
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover and a mandated management plan in operation to maintain
a natural state within which disturbance events (of natural type, frequency, intensity, and legacy) are allowed to proceed
without interference or are mimicked through management.
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source USGS GAP Analysis Program PADUS Standards Manual
- Enumerated Domain Value 2
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover and a mandated management plan in operation to maintain
a primarily natural state, but which may receive uses or management practices that degrade the quality of existing natural
communities, including suppression of natural disturbance.
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source USGS GAP Analysis Program PADUS Standards Manual
- Enumerated Domain Value 3
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover for the majority of the area, but subject to extractive
uses of either a broad, low-intensity type (e.g., logging, OHV recreation) or localized intense type (e.g., mining). It also
confers protection to federally listed endangered and threatened species throughout the area.
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source USGS GAP Analysis Program PADUS Standards Manual
- Enumerated Domain Value 4
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition There are no known public or private institutional mandates or legally recognized easements or deed restrictions held by the
managing entity to prevent conversion of natural habitat types to anthropogenic habitat types. The area generally allows conversion
to unnatural land cover throughout or management intent is unknown.

- Attribute
-
- Attribute Label GAPCdSrc
- Attribute Definition An acronym to describe the organization(s) that applied the Gap Status Code to the polygon. This field also describes the
methods used for assigning GAP Status as follows: 'GAP - Default' is assigned when GAP's categorical assignment of status
has been applied, without more detailed review or inquiry. 'GAP' is assigned when standard methods (management plan reviewed
and/or land manager interviewed to assign GAP Status to a protected area) apply as provided above. 'GAP - other organization'
(e.g. GAP - NPS) applies when the measure is assigned in partnership with GAP, including review. When another organization
applied GAP Status according to their methods then 'other organization' (e.g. TNC) is assigned. See the PADUS Standards Manual
for more information.

- Attribute Label IUCN_cat
- Attribute Definition International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) management categories assigned to protected areas for inclusion
in the UNEP- World Conservation Monitoring Center's (WCMC) World Database for Protected Areas (WDPA) and the Commission for
Environmental Cooperation's (CEC) North American Terrestrial Protected Areas Database. IUCN defines a protected area as,
"A clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve
the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values". Categorization follows as:
Category Ia: Strict Nature Reserves are strictly protected areas set aside to protect biodiversity and also possibly geological
/ geomorphological features, where human visitation, use and impacts are strictly controlled and limited to ensure preservation
of the conservation values. Such protected areas can serve as indispensible reference areas for scientific research and monitoring.
Category Ib: Wilderness Areas are protected areas are usually large unmodified or slightly modified areas, retaining their
natural character and influence, without permanent or significant human habitation, which are protected and managed so as
to preserve their natural condition. Category II: National Park protected areas are large natural or near natural areas set
aside to protect large-scale ecological processes, along with the complement of species and ecosystems characteristic of the
area, which also provide a foundation for environmentally and culturally compatible spiritual, scientific, educational, recreational
and visitor opportunities. Category III: Natural Monument or Feature protected areas are set aside to protect a specfic natural
monument, which can be a land form, sea mount, submarine caverns, geological feature such as caves or even a living feature
such as an ancient grove. They are generally quite small protected areas and often have high visitor value. Category IV:
Habitat/species management protected areas aim to protect particular species or habitats and management reflects this priority.
Many category IV protected areas will need regular, active interventions to address the requirements of particular species
or to maintain habitats, but this is not a requirement of this category. Category V: Protected landscape/seascape protected
areas occur where the interaction of people and nature over time has produced an area of distinct character with significant
ecological, biological, cultural and scenic value. Category VI: Protected area with sustainable use of natural resources
are generally large, with much of the area in a more-or-less natural condition and wherea a proportion is under sustainable
natural resource management and where such exploitation is seen as one of the main aims of the area. See the PADUS Standards
Manual for a summary of methods.
