Conservation Data Analysis

The Conservation Analysis Unit (CAU) maintains authoritative datasets on California’s wildlife, vegetation and habitats, conducts research to address conservation questions, and develops and maintains a suite of tools which leverage this information to assist a variety of stakeholders with conservation decision-making.

We seek to further knowledge and understanding of priority conservation areas through our data acquisitions and research programs which focus on landscape-level spatial analyses. These include habitat suitability modeling, species range and distribution modeling, climate change vulnerability assessments, habitat connectivity modeling, and the compilation and integration of other landscape datasets.
