The PAD-US Partnership is the overall policy and coordination organization for the new protected areas inventory. Initially composed of several federal agencies, national non-profit organizations and state representatives, the Partnership will lead the full implementation effort of the PAD-US from 2010-2012. Find out more about the Partnership!
A Steering Committee manages the affairs of the Partnership, while the Partnership Council provides other agencies and organizations with a means to contribute their expertise to the effort. A Technical Advisory Team will enable those with significant GIS background to offer input, later in 2009.
