The initiative recognizes the need for conserving nature and natural areas to mitigate climate change. So far, over 100 countries have committed to the effort.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">In October 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/10.07.2020-EO-N-82-20-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Nature-Based Solutions executive order<\/a> elevating the role of natural and working lands in the fight to mitigate climate change and advance biodiversity conservation. The executive order commits California to the goal of conserving 30% of its lands and coastal waters by 2030 and aims to adopt nature-based solutions to meet the challenge of climate change in a manner that protects biodiversity among multiple goals and improves equitable access to nature for all Californians.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">The executive order also directs the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) to coordinate with other state agencies and diverse partners to achieve conservation goals. Over the past two years, through a collaborative and inclusive public engagement process, CNRA gathered expert opinions and asked people around the state for viewpoints to determine the best opportunities and strategies for achieving 30&#215;30.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ca-nature\">CA Nature<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">As part of its role as the lead agency for the initiative, CNRA developed a geospatial infrastructure, known as CA Nature, to support current and future conservation planning for the state. This infrastructure, which is made accessible and opens using a hub site, <a href=\"https:\/\/californianature.ca.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/californianature.ca.gov<\/a>, is powered by rich geospatial data holdings drawn from a wide array of state agencies. The state data is augmented by federal data and authoritative content from Esri&#8217;s ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">The hub and associated applications were developed through a collaboration between CNRA and Esri, combining conservation expertise and a deep understanding of needed data, processes, and applications. CA Nature brings together a suite of interactive mapping and visualization tools for compiling statewide biodiversity, access, climate, and conservation information to advance 30&#215;30. CNRA and Esri designed these apps to support the three main objectives of CA\u2019s 30&#215;30 initiative: to protect and restore biodiversity, mitigate and build resilience to climate change, and expand equitable access to nature for all. The explorer apps were built to provide stakeholders with deeper insights into these three objectives so that this information could be leveraged and provide additional context to help make conservation decisions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">CA Nature brings this data together enabling visitors to analyze and understand different features of the landscape and conservation efforts. Visitors to the hub can use its Explorer apps to identify places across California where there are opportunities to achieve biodiversity, climate, and equity goals, and to assess what percentage of California is already conserved as well as track progress toward goals.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">Collaboration, transparency, and engagement are key to the success of 30&#215;30. CA Nature delivers ways that stakeholders, government organizations at all levels, and all Californians can come together and gain understanding to meet goals.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-explorer-applications\">Explorer Applications<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">CA Nature&#8217;s interactive Explorer applications enable everyone to engage with data in new and significant ways. The apps provide subject-specific opportunities to dig in and develop insights into the challenges and opportunities that California faces as it works toward the goals of 30&#215;30 and implements climate-smart land strategies. The Explorer apps are as follows:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conserved-areas-explorer\">Conserved Areas Explorer<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">This dashboard brings together conservation successes from across the state, tallies their contributions toward the 30&#215;30 goal, and enables the exploration of data being used to track this progress.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/uat.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pic2-826x465-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-435672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pic2-826x465-1.png 826w, https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pic2-826x465-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pic2-826x465-1-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/canature-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Conserved Areas Explorer shows the current status in achieving the 30&#215;30 goal and management agencies.&nbsp;(Click to view the image more closely.)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) is a GIS dataset depicting lands that are owned in fee and protected for open space purposes by over 1,000 public agencies or non-profit organizations. PAD-US, maintained by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) contains core information about conservation status. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">Similarly, the California Conservation Easement Database (CCED) contains details on easements within California. Incorporating these datasets and updating some areas based on known management activities resulted in the Conserved Areas Explorer which provides a Statewide view of conserved areas. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">California\u2019s 30&#215;30 initiative uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/canature.maps.arcgis.com\/sharing\/rest\/content\/items\/8dbef730937f4435b2ce1df8fe742287\/data\">USGS GAP Status Codes<\/a> as a measure of management intent to conserve biodiversity. Generally, GAP Status Codes 1 and 2 represent areas with strong biodiversity protections that are considered 30&#215;30 conservation areas, therefore contributing to the 30&#215;30 goal. GAP Status Codes 3 and 4 represent known opportunities for improved conservation measures.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-biodiversity-explorer\">Biodiversity Explorer<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">California is home to one of the greatest displays of biodiversity in the nation and the world. The challenge posed by the 30&#215;30 initiative is to plan and implement conservation strategies that allow all Californians to continue to flourish and succeed, while also ensuring that we safeguard the great abundance of species that reside in the state and, in many cases, exist nowhere else on earth.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">The Biodiversity Explorer app draws from several key datasets of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife.ca.gov\/Data\/Analysis\/Ace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE)<\/a> project compiled by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
