raster digital dataRichmond, VaVDGIFtier1_esshabVDGIFSeptember 2005Report submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. http://bewildvirginia.org/12/2005n/aDGIFThe Tier1_Ess_Hab raster shows locations of confirmed and/or potential habitat of Tier 1 species created during the Virginia Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). It represents habitat for fifty-three terrestrial species and thirty-three aquatic species. Of the ninety-three Tier I species, habitat was mapped for eighty-six species. These habitats were summarized to show areas of conservation opportunity.This dataset is intended to highlight conservation opportunities in Virginia. All areas with the potential to support a Tier I species are important, however areas that may support multiple species represent areas of greater conservation need.enFor more information on the Widlife Action Plan and how species' habitats were determined, visit http://bewildvirginia.org20051115publication dateCompleteIrregular-83.841967-75.12996439.50986436.409218-373690.330551376109.66944953949.166600389549.166600ESRI ArcIMS Topic CategoriesBiotaComprehensive Wildlife Conservation StrategyEssential HabitatWildlife Action PlanConservationImperiled SpeciesThese 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.
