Purpose

This dataset supports resource managers by allowing them to quickly see what species are of greatest conservation need in different states across the North Central region. The dataset can be sorted by species name, taxonomic group, federal status, listing as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in each of the 7 North Central state's State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs), and by total number of states that list each species in their SWAP. This dataset may help to facilitate prioritization of conservation efforts as well as collaboration on shared goals across the North Central region.
