This dashboard allows you to interact with and explore results from each topic area covered in the 2020 Resources Planning Act Assessment. The assessment reports U.S. forest and rangeland conditions and trends on all lands, identifies drivers of change, and projects conditions 50 years into the future based on scenarios of socioeconomic and climatic change. It assesses the status of forests, rangelands, urban forests, forest product markets, forest carbon, wildlife and fish, biodiversity, outdoor recreation, and water. It's designed for forest planners, industry leaders, and anyone else who needs to make informed, sustainable, and economically robust decisions about natural resources.
