Title
Imperiled Species - Critical Habitat [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
DefinitionThis indicator identifies the prevalence of species listed as threatened or endangered within the Midwest Landscape. It prioritizes areas based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's final and proposed Critical Habitat designations. Pixels can take the following values:0 -Not final or proposed critical habitat1 -Final or proposed critical habitat, not a natural asset2 - Natural assets within final or proposed critical habitatSelectionThis indicator was chosen as a targetable, important feature of the MLI goals that will be used to track conditions over time and prioritize areas for conservation. Indicators were defined through elicitation and prioritization exercises with federal and state participants. Criteria for the indicators includes 1) actionable, 2) measurable, 3) relevant to multiple groups across the region, and/or 4) representative of other social and/or environmental values.Input Data & Mapping StepsThis indicator originates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service HQ Critical Habitat layer. To create this layer, MLI partners, members, and staff completed the following mapping steps: projected all input data to NAD83 (2011) UTM Zone 15N, converted the data to a 30m raster, and emphasized natural assets within critical habitat, leading to the following categories: 0 - Not final or proposed critical habitat, 1 - Final or proposed critical habitat, not a natural asset, 2 - Natural assets within final or proposed critical habitat. Finally, we removed highly altered areas using our Highly Altered Areas mask.For full mapping details, please refer to theMidwest Conservation Blueprint 2023 Development Process.
