Government transparency limited when it comes to America's conserved private lands. A new study examined why private-land conservation data is sometimes inaccessible and found that limited capacity within some federal agencies as well as laws prohibiting others from disclosing certain information are to blame.

No government is totally transparent. There is a reason for this. There are a lot of things that the general population does not need to know and knowing it can case fear and other things. A good government will keep some things under wrap as needed.
