- GAP Program
The Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project was a successful multi-state project in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. The effort mapped land cover, 819 terrestrial vertebrate species, and land stewardship over the 5-state region. With the completion of the project, there was a need to assist in applying the data to land managers needs such as the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies. Our objectives will be to provide assistance to state wildlife agencies in the application of the SWReGAP data to support their conservation efforts. This project will compare state-identified species of greatest conservation need with species identified as gap species, and describeconservation areas across the entire southwest.
