U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceThe gopher tortoise burrow locations from multiple sources that covered Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. Based on available data, there are an estimated 149,152 gopher tortoises across the five units. We delineated 823 local populations, and those were assessed as having 138 local populations with high resiliency, 180 with moderate resiliency, 423 with low resiliency, and 82 with unknown resiliency. The analysis unit with the largest number of local populations is Unit 5 while Unit 1 was assessed to have the smallest number of local populations. In terms of the estimated rangewide number of gopher tortoises, most gopher tortoises are found in the eastern portion of the range, with only 8 percent of the estimated rangewide population in the western portion of the range.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/cb8846afae4c44a09bbfb7ce7be8e3b7_0engU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open DataPublicGT local population CenterPoints [United States]Web servicesUnited StatesLast Modified: 2022-05-06
