California 30x30 Explorer

An interactive conservation decision-support tool for California's 30x30 goal — the state's commitment to conserve 30% of its lands and coastal waters by 2030. Built on the Geospatial LLM-Enabled Navigator (GLEN) framework, it pairs a MapLibre interface with a natural-language agent that discovers datasets and runs live SQL queries over cloud-native (Parquet/COG) data through MCP tools. Users can explore the state's conserved-areas inventory alongside biodiversity, habitat, connectivity, freshwater, and climate-hazard data, gaining insight into what is conserved, what lacks protection, and where opportunities remain to fill those gaps. Developed by the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for Data Science & Environment (DSE) at UC Berkeley in collaboration with the California Biodiversity Network, aligned to the CA 30x30 Biodiversity Assessment. The tool has been re-platformed onto GLEN — succeeding the earlier Streamlit prototype in this repository — and its data updated to the 2025 CA 30x30 conservation inventory; the repository now holds only dataset configuration and the domain system prompt, with the map, chat, agent loop, and tool orchestration provided by the GLEN framework.
