Why do we need LandScope America?
The United States loses about 2 million acres of open space each year to development—that’s nearly 6,000 acres a day. Suburban sprawl, poorly planned development, and other threats are causing us to lose important wildlife habitat, valuable farmland and forests, and other natural resources. Through LandScope America, we hope first to inform and inspire the public to take action; and second, to help the land conservation community be more strategic and effective at protecting our lands and waters for future generations.
