The Public Environmental Data Partners are committed to preserving and providing public access to federal environmental data. We are a volunteer coalition of several environmental justice and policy organizations, researchers across several universities, archivists, and students who rely on federal datasets and tools to support critical research, advocacy, policy, and litigation work. To gather insights on what data to preserve, we reached out to our networks, which consist largely of environmental justice groups and networks, state and local government climate offices, and academic researchers. We compiled a large list of federal databases and tools, and prioritized them based on their relative impact, our confidence that we could archive them, and the relative effort it would take to obtain and archive them. To date, we have archived 37 databases and with your donation, we'll be able to archive even more.
From all of us: thank you.
If you'd like to nominate an at-risk database, learn more, or get involved, head over to screening-tools.com.

I was shattered to see EJScreen taken down among other important Federal environmental data tools. Thanks so much for recovering and republishing. A huge public service.

I am so frustrated that the EJScreening Tool has been removed! My students utilize the tool for one of my course assignments (Just Maps) and find it outrageous that such important data and tools have been taken away from the public. Thank you for your valuable work keeping this data and tool available.
