Description: The Protected Areas Database of Oklahoma (PAD-OK) is a geodatabase managed by the Oklahoma Biological Survey and is designed for inclusion into the Protected Areas Database of The United States (PAD-US), managed by USGS GAP. The database illustrates and describes public land ownership, management, and other conservation lands, including voluntarily provided privately protected areas. The lands included in PAD-OK are assigned conservation measures following USGS Gap Analysis Program (GAP) guidelines indicating intent to manage lands for the preservation of biological diversity and to other natural, recreational and cultural uses; managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means. The PAD-OK geodatabase includes: 1. Geographic boundaries of pulic land ownership and voluntarily provided private conservation lands; 2. The combination land owner, land manager, management designation or type, parcel name, GIS Acres and source of geographic information of each mapped land unit; and 3. GAP Status Code conservation measure of each parcel based on GAP protection level categories which provide a measurement of management intent for long-term biodiversity conservation. The PAD-OK database includes: federal, state, tribal, local, and private protected areas within the state of Oklahoma.
