Conservation Planning Areas (CPAs) are a portion of the DRECP Plan-Wide Reserve Design Envelope that falls outside of existing conservation areas and BLM-administered lands. CPAs encompass both private lands and nonfederal public lands and include, but are not limited to, nonfederal lands within the Interagency Plan-Wide Conservation Priority Areas. A portion of the DRECP Conservation Area will be assembled by acquiring land or conservation easements from willing sellers in the CPAs to contribute to meeting the DRECP Plan-wide Biological Goals and Objectives (BGOs).

This dataset was derived from the original DRECP integrative alternatives provided by Dudek. The geometry was simplified slightly in order to improve online performance. The integrated alternative shapefiles represent the proposed Plan-wide action alternatives, as described in Volume II of the Public Draft DRECP (2014). The original DRECP integrated alternative shapefiles can be downloaded directly from the DRECP website at the following URL: http://www.drecp.org/draftdrecp/files/GIS/
