Introducing New Resource Tools for Grassland Protection and Restoration
NLAP is happy to announce two new resource tools for grassland and biodiversity protection: our storymap, Grasslands: The Land and the People that Call it Home, and our Conservation Reserve Program Dashboard!
Conservation Reserve Program
About this Dashboard This data dashboard summarizes data from the USDA FSA conservation reserve program (CRP) for every eligible county in the United States since the program’s inception in 1986 (data for years 1987-2022). The data in this dashboard shows state and county averages in addition to yearly enrollment and rent totals. 0 Years of […]
Soil Organic Carbon for Land Planning on Native Lands
About this Dashboard This data dashboard summarizes past and present Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) data for all Native Lands but also future estimates depending on different agricultural scenarios. Data comes from the Soils Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) for past and most to date available values (2019 and 2021). For future scenarios, we used estimates from […]
Grasslands: The Land and the People That Call it Home
Take a deep dive into the world of grasslands and learn more about: different characteristics of grasslands, Native care of grasslands historically and today, and how grasslands serve and support our world from an ecological, economic, and climate perspective.
2023 Farm Bill: Native Farm Bill Coalition Priorities & How the NLIS Can Help
By Raven McMullin It goes without saying that the food system in the United States was created without the intent of maintaining or supporting traditional Native foodways. In fact, more than neglecting these traditional systems, new settlers sought to destroy Native food sources and economies—forcing dependence upon a strange and commodified food chain. However, traditional […]
US Drought Monitor (Google Earth Engine)
This map displays US Drought Conditions updated every Thursday as reported by National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC)
ARMP-IRMP-Data Portal
ARMP-IRMP Planning Portal A Toolkit for Tribal Resource Management Plans Welcome to the ARMP-IRMP Data Portal This resource was developed by the Native Lands Advocacy Project in partnership with the Intertribal Agriculture Council and the Indian Land Tenure Foundation to assist Tribes in the development of Agriculture Resource Management Plans (ARMPs) and Integrated Resources Management Plans […]
Announcing Our New “Preserving Intact Habitat on Native Lands” Storymap!
What is intact habitat, and why is it important? How has preserving intact habitat been the key to addressing tribal priorities? What resource tools exist for tribes to utilize in their own intact habitat planning? To help answer these questions and more, NLAP is happy to announce our new storymap, Preserving Intact Habitat on US […]
Preserving Intact Habitat on US Native Lands
In this interactive storymap, we will walk through the importance of habitat connectivity for Native lands in the United States, approaches to promoting habitat connectivity provided by Esri, and how different data tools — one of which being our very own intact habitat layer — may be used for further tribal protection of their homelands and non-human relatives.
Thermal Activity on US Native Lands
This map shows satellite detected hotspots and wildfire activity provided by federal, state, and local agencies.
Intact Habitat on US Native Lands
This layer represents modeled Intact Habitat Cores, or minimally disturbed natural areas at least 100 acres in size and greater than 200 meters wide.
Intact Habitat Selector Tool
Explore and filter a national database of intact landscape cores to identify important habitat your tribe seeks to protect based on species richness, water availability, landscape variability, soils, etc.
