,Please visit the User Guide to learn about using the Conservation Opportunities Modeler.,CA Nature supports the California Natural Resources Agency’s goals for equitable access for all, the conservation of the state’s biodiversity, and expanding the use of nature-based solutions to address climate change.,The Conservation Opportunities Modeler uses a technique called a Weighted Raster Overlay (WRO) to evaluate multiple factors simultaneously. You can select layers from almost 50 layers in library, assign a weight to each selected layer, and then a scores to the available variables. These are then combined to show the range of combined values across the landscape, whether high or low based on your assigned weights.,Data libraries are available to explore opportunities for access for all, biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, as well as opportunities that integrate across multiple challenges. After your model is complete, run it online and explore the results through interactive summaries and comparison against data from CA Nature or other sources.,Use the Conservation Opportunities Modeler to explore opportunities through building your own scenarios.,,
