Restoration and Conservation Opportunity Maps for the conterminous U.S. (CONUS)
Nature-based solutions is a leading policy option for mitigating climate change. We mapped areas of potential restoration and conservation opportunities in the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). The potential for five scenarios were examined: increasing forest cover in urban centers, restoring historically forested areas that have been converted to grasslands, conserving pristine grasslands, rewetting peatlands, and conserving vulnerable tidal wetlands.
