GIS data: Data about places can now be developed in so many ways. GreenInfo can help you research and find what you need, make revisions and updates in data you already have, or create whole new datasets by digitizing or geocoding (including using collaborative web mapping to let you and others contribute that data). GreenInfo is also the creator and publisher of the California Protected Areas Database (CPAD), the only statewide inventory of all parks and open space lands - find out more at www.CALands.org

Users can identify IBAs, as well as learn about the habitat and land uses within each IBA on the site. Audubon uses the site to educate and inform the public as well as to properly manage and conserve IBAs.
