We’re thrilled to launch our new dashboard and interactive map, a powerful tool to explore Wisconsin’s lands and waters through the lens of the global 30x30 initiative—the ambitious goal to protect 30% of lands and waters by 2030. From forests and wetlands to prairies and culturally important sites, this tool lets you see the diversity of habitats across the state, understand their crucial roles in climate mitigation, biodiversity, and human well-being, and even discover what’s thriving right in your own backyard.
Learn about keystone species like beavers, wolves, and rusty-patched bumblebees, explore old-growth forests and prairie remnants, and see how protected lands—from state parks to land trust preserves—contribute to healthy ecosystems, clean water, and carbon storage. You can also explore areas of cultural significance, including tribal lands, wild rice habitats, effigy mounds, and historic settlements, honoring the deep connections between people and the land.
This interactive dashboard makes it easy to explore, learn, and get inspired to protect Wisconsin’s natural heritage for future generations.
