HFU Protected Area

This data layer represents a potential Conservation Target (CT) for PFLCC's 'Hardwood Forested Uplands' Priority Resource (PR). The potential CT shown here is the protected/managed area. These layers were created for an initial investigation of potential CT's suggested at brainstorming workshops. The initial investigation entails locating available datasets to address the suggested CT as closely as possible and performing minimal analyses to determine their usefulness. The final set of CT's and their associated datasets will be chosen after targets (e.g., endpoints) are established as a threshold for achieving a conservation success for that CT.

The data layer available for evaluating the area under management and/or protection is the Florida Natural Areas Inventory Florida Conservation Lands (FMLA) layer. This shapefile shows all lands in Florida that are protected/managed at least partially for conservation purposes. It is updated quarterly and so provides the opportunity for continued monitoring.
