n/araster digital dataVA Dept. of Game and Inland FisheriesVDGIFSeptember 2005Report submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.http://bewildvirginia.org/VA Dept. of Game & Inland FisheriesSeptember 2008esshabtier1_2n/aThe EssHabTier1_2 raster shows the number of Tier 1, 2 or listed species with mapped potential or confirmed essential habitat across Virginia. These data were created as part of the Virginia Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). This is a combination of mapped habitat from 149 terrestrial species and 98 aquatic species. Of the 358 species in these Tiers, habitat was mapped for 247 species. These habitats were summarized to show areas of conservation opportunity.This dataset is intended to highlight wildlife habitat conservation opportunities in Virginia. All areas with the potential to support a tiered species species are important, however areas that may support multiple species represent areas of greater conservation impact.For more information on the Wildlife Action Plan and how species' habitats were determined, visit http://bewildvirginia.org.en20080914publication dateCompleteAs needed-83.841967-75.12996439.50986436.409218-373690.330551376109.66944953949.166600389549.166600NoneBiotaWildlife Action PlanWildlifeHabitatsImperiledConservationWAPCWCSVirginiaThese data are available to public or private entites with permission of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF).This dataset is not intended for use as a sole source of information about the locations of Virginia's wildlife species.
