Title
DRAFT Imperiled Mammals (Southeast Blueprint DRAFT Indicator) [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
This indicator measures the number of mammal Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need that are predicted to occur in a given area based on species distribution models, with an emphasis on range-restricted species. RSGCN are regional priority species derived from the list of SGCN identified in Southeast State Wildlife Action Plans as most in need of need of conservation action. RSGCN were chosen based on consistent criteria, such as level of conservation concern, regional stewardship responsibility, and ecological significance. This indicator uses models from the U.S. Geological Survey Gap Analysis Program that are based on known species ranges, species-habitat relationships, and landcover.The Southeast is home to a diverse array of important mammal species that contribute to the cultural heritage, biodiversity, and ecological function of the region. The species used in this indicator come from the Southeast animal Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list. For their Wildlife Action Plans, each state and territorial fish and wildlife agency identifies a list of species most in need of conservation action, known as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Using the SGCN lists developed for the 2015 Wildlife Action Plans, the Southeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies' (SEAFWA) Wildlife Diversity Committee (WDC) created the RSGCN list to identify regional priority species. The Southeast animal RSGCN list includes 960 species representing amphibians, birds, bumblebees, fish, invertebrates (crayfish and mussels), mammals, and reptiles. In addition, the SEAFWA WDC ranked each species by degree of conservation concern (very high concern, high concern, or moderate concern). This indicator identifies potential habitat for 64 mammal species and subspecies on the RSGCN list that are considered of very high or high conservation concern. It particularly emphasizes potential habitat for range-restricted species and narrow endemics that only occur in very small and often singular places, making them more vulnerable to extinction.
