The Conservation Assessment Program (CAP)

The Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) is a scientific effort to evaluate the health and sustainability of plant and animal populations, or habitats, within specific regions. It helps identify areas that are at risk or under-protected, guiding conservation efforts. By combining diverse data sources and expert input, CAP provides detailed assessments that support informed decisions for preserving biodiversity and natural resources. Essentially, it is a structured approach to understanding ecological conditions to promote effective conservation strategies.
