Thank you for obtaining this USGS Gap Analysis Program CD.
GAP is a large and complex biodiversity assessment program active
throughout the U.S. and administered by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The information found on this CD represents several years of
work and the participation of many researchers and cooperating
agencies and institutions (See the Report for authors and cooperators.)
These CDs contain data and information that have never before
existed. As with all map abstractions of the real world, the
data are not perfect, but allow many opportunities for research,
land management, conservation planning, business applications,
and education. A list of appropriate and inappropriate uses is
provided in "Appendix 1" of this document, but we stress
that no decisions should be made solely on the use of this data;
field confirmation is highly recommended. We hope you find the
information valuable for your particular use and we would like
to hear about all applications of the data. Please send information
to us at the address provided in the “Product Response
Form” folder on this CD.
Finally, we hope that using this CD stimulates your desire
to either continue to partner with GAP or become a new cooperator
in future updates and improvements.
