Abstract:
Florida Forever Measure B2: The number of acres acquired of highest priority conservation areas for Florida's rarest species. The FNAI Habitat Conservation Priorities data layer prioritizes places on the landscape that would protect both the greatest number of rare species and those species with the greatest conservation need. We developed the data layer by first selecting species with the greatest conservation need in Florida and developing habitat maps around known occurrences of those species. The Inventory currently has more than 23,000 occurrence records for Florida's rare and endangered species in the form of point locations. For this data layer we wanted to identify habitat areas, based on these point locations, that represent the geographic extent of the species occurrence on the landscape. We created habitat polygons only around known occurrences, rather than creating polygons of potential habitat where no occurrence records exist. In using this method, we are able to definitively say that acquisition of a habitat area serves to protect a particular species because we have documentation of the species at that site. The habitats were then ranked based on quality/suitability for the species and the species were weighted based on conservation need. The weighted habitat maps for 262 species were then overlaid to determine overall conservation priorities for Florida's rarest species. For a complete description please refer to: Knight, A. and J. Oetting. 2003. Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment Technical Report, Version 1.3. Florida Natural Areas Inventory. Tallahassee, Florida.
Purpose:
This data set was developed as part of the Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment. These data are intended to address specific performance measures of the Florida Forever program and may not be appropriate for general use, and are not intended for use in a regulatory decision-making process. Please refer to Knight, G. et al. 2000. Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment Summary Report. Florida Natural Areas Inventory. Tallahassee, Florida.
