Ecological Status Assessment,
Geospatial,
The Apache Highlands ecoregion incorporates the entire Madrean Archipelago/Sky Island region. We analyzed the current distribution of 223 target species and 26 terrestrial ecological systems there, and compared them with constraints on ecosystem integrity (e.g., road density) to determine the most efficient set of areas needed to maintain current biodiversity. The resulting portfolio of 90 areas includes 12.5 million acres (5 million ha) that should be priorities for protection. Conservation strategies include protection and restoration of grasslands, restoration or maintenance of natural fire regimes, and learning more of probable effects of climate change.

This data layer was developed for use by regional conservation organizations and partners located in or adjacent to the Sky Islands region of the Southwest and to fill a key data gap, namely detailed, consistent, and project-relevant spatial datasets on land cover. These data emerged, in part, from a stakeholder-based process that involved the participation of multiple organizations, including Conservation Science Partners, Northern Arizona University, The Nature Conservancy, USGS, USFWS, Arizona Game and Fish Department, Borderlands Restoration, Sky Islands Alliance, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and Universidad de Hermosillo. Development of these data was generously supported by Wilburforce Foundation. We developed...
