The
Conservation Geoportal is a collaborative
effort by and for the conservation community
to facilitate the discovery and publishing
of geographic information systems (GIS)
data and maps, to support conservation decision-making
and education. It is primarily a data catalogue,
intended to provide a comprehensive listing
of GIS data sets and map services relevant
to biodiversity conservation. The Conservation
Geoportal does not actually store maps and
data, but rather the descriptions and links
to those resources, known as "metadata."
