Usage Guidance
-
Protected land assemblage is the area of protected land not controlled by the organization that is adjacent to the land controlled by the reporting organization.
-
This should include land area controlled by other entities as long as they form a contiguous assemblage with the protected land area directly or indirectly controlled by the reporting organization.
-
For many conservation objectives, large, connected areas of conserved land are more valuable than small and disconnected pieces of conserved land. This metric helps capture holistically how a specific project complements previous conservation work.
