Condition of the land

The score, 0 to 100. 100 is land of its kind that people have left alone.

487896

96 reads intact (96 and above). The range, 91 to 100, is where its two measures disagree; 44% of it stays intact. A site visit settles it.

This land is close to how land of its kind looks when people leave it alone. The work here is keeping it that way.

Read from two measures

Unchanged92

How little people have changed it, from roads and buildings to fields and lights.

Unconverted100

How much of it is not fields, buildings, or missing the forest it would carry.

The score sits between the two.

Trees now 99%. Left alone, about 79%.
