USFWS Critical Habitat - Line (MRB)

Critical habitat lines - Mississippi River BasinWhen a species is proposed for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must consider whether there are areas of habitat believed to be essential the species’ conservation. Those areas may be proposed for designation as “critical habitat.” Critical habitat is a term defined and used in the Act. It is a specific geographic area(s) that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection. Critical habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species but that will be needed for its recovery. An area...

Database of Biodiversity, Habitat, and Aquatic Resource Quantification Tools Used for Market-based Conservation in the United States (ver. 2.0, June 2022)

This comprehensive database describes the core attributes of quantification tools developed for market-based conservation in the United States. It encompasses tools designed for compensatory mitigation, non-compensatory mitigation, and voluntary conservation/restoration programs. The dataset consists of 107 tools. Each tool's features are described using 33 attributes related to general, technical, and ecological/geographic details. This database was first published in 2018. Version 2.0 expands upon the original database by including tools developed for compensatory mitigation under the Clean Water Act section 404 regulatory program. Version 2.0 also provides updates on tool details provided in the original database....

Western Oregon Areas of High Conservation Value

This dataset represents areas in western Oregon with high conservation value. Identification of areas with high conservation value can help land managers strategize during planning efforts to better meet goals, such as viability of northern spotted owls. A large proportion of the areas identified as high conservation value fall on public lands, some areas of which are currently undergoing management plan revisions. Combination of this dataset with datasets depicting land ownership and protection status, such as the Protected Areas Database, can reveal areas of high conservation value which are not currently protected. High conservation value was evaluated using the Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) tool,...
