It considers grassland and savanna locations, likely locations managed for biodiversity, and surrounding pollinator buffers. It also incorporates other potential grassland and savanna locations within natural and altered landscapes, and restoration opportunities within historic locations based on past fire intervals and historic ecosystem predictions. This indicator combines data from multiple sources, including the National Land Cover Database, LANDFIRE biophysical settings, and the Protected Areas Database (PAD-US). The data was created following the methods of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS). This layer was created for review, and will be considered as an input in the 2024 Midwest Conservation Blueprint. As a draft, this layer is for review only and should not be used for any mapping or analysis.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS ImageMapLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/4939f95d483d4d0b91474af1d08c97af</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open Data</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Draft Midwest Grasslands and Savannas Indicator for HWG Review [United States]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>United States</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2024-07-18</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
