Data Access
A dynamic index of data available on the Landscape Partnership Portal and Cloud Platform.
Introduction
The Landscape Partnership portal serves up curated and georeferenced spatial data for partners working in the landscape. These tools will allow managers/conservation practitioners to make dynamic and scenario-based decisions using the best and most current scientific data. A sampling of the datasets/themes are listed below. For a more detailed list of available data (with descriptions) please see Foundational and Partner Datasets.

LP Cloud Structure
Spatial data will be uploaded to the cloud using an S3 client. There are a variety of free and open source S3 clients such as
Cyberduck and DragonDisk. Documentation will be provided for our preferred clients.
Each spatial data archive will be uploaded as a zip file, and will have an associated SpacialData content-item in Plone which stores the metadata as well as preview image, etc.
