Published: March 6, 2026 Version: 1

Abstract

With YEA's curated places catalog reaching 1,142 sites across six continents and 23 organizations, several major US federal land designation networks have been identified as high-priority import candidates. Each represents a formally designated, geographically precise, ecologically significant collection of places with federal registry data including coordinates, boundaries, and management metadata. This note captures the import roadmap and prioritization.
