Integrated Landscape Assessment Project
The Integrated Landscape Assessment Project (ILAP) focuses on informed wildland restoration decisions in the northwest and southwest U.S. by evaluating trends in vegetation conditions, wildlife habitats, and wildfire risks. The collaborative effort includes various federal, state, and nonprofit organizations aimed at supporting forest planning and enhancing rural communities through better management practices. The project delivers decision support tools and assessments to inform landscape conservation efforts and improve economic outcomes for communities.
