US Fish and Wildlife Service Open Data

This portal, maintained by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, serves as an authoritative source for publicly shared geospatial data to support conservation nationwide. It provides a comprehensive library of information accessible through various categories, making it easier for users to find relevant datasets.

Users can browse data by category, including Biota (e.g., wildlife, habitats), Boundaries (administrative and geographical), Conservation Planning (strategies and protected areas), Environmental (ecological features, conditions), Facilities Structures (buildings, infrastructure), Inland Waters (rivers, lakes, wetlands), Management (resource administration), and Transportation (roads, access). Each category is clearly represented with a unique icon and a direct link to filtered search results.

The data available through this portal is crucial for understanding and addressing conservation challenges across the United States. By providing transparent and accessible information, the US Fish and Wildlife Service aims to foster collaboration and inform decision-making for effective wildlife and habitat management.
