Protectedlands.net is the web home for the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US):

	The PAD-US section of the website describes the land inventory database and efforts to improve how we track U.S. lands set aside for conservation, open space, recreation and other natural resource uses.
	The Data Portal section of the web site contains a wide range of information on protected land inventories maintained by indivdual states, federal agencies and national non-profits. You are invited to help improve this information by directly contributing information about available protected areas data.
	The PAD-US Partnership section of the web site explains the organization behind the PAD-US, including information on how your agency or organization can become involved.
