The Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) program was initiated to improve the effectiveness of monitoring activities on BLM land. The AIM program provides a standardized process for the BLM to collect quantitative information on the status, condition, trend, amount, location, and spatial pattern of resources on the nation’s public lands. The BLM uses data derived from the AIM program to make necessary management adjustments to meet resource management objectives described at project, activity plan, resource management plan, and national program levels.
