Commission for Environmental Cooperation's (CEC) North American Environmental Atlas

Posted April 16th, 2008 by Eliana

Montreal, 15 April 2008 - A new map layer available as part of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation's (CEC) North American Environmental Atlas depicts protected areas managed by national, state, provincial, or territorial authorities in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

In addition to location information for nearly 200,000 distinct parcels of protected land, the map layer data files contain information on each protected area, including protection management classifications from the World Conservation Union and the GAP Analysis Program. The map layer was produced in cooperation with the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Clemson University (South Carolina, United States).

More information, including the raw data files and a map showing the protected areas, is available on the protected areas page

of the CEC's atlas.

The North American Environmental Atlas is collaboration between the CEC, Natural Resources Canada, Mexico's National Institute of Statistics, Geography, and Informatics, and the US Geological Survey. The online atlas seeks to promote understanding of significant continental-scale environmental issues by providing maps, data and interactive tools-such as interactive Google Earth layers.
