Abstract:

This layer was created as part of the green infrastructure network design being developed for the Midwest Wind Energy Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) Section 6 grant project. As part of The Conservation Fund's (The Fund) Section 6 grant scope of work, The Fund supported the design and coordination of a consistent and effective mitigation approach across USFWS Region 3 in partnership with the States, American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), and USFWS. The Fund utilized a green infrastructure approach that will help AWEA and the States integrate species habitat mitigation within the context of an interconnected network of lands and waters, providing multiple benefits across the entire range of AWEA member activities in the eight affected states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Such an approach will also ensure a consistent methodology is used to determine selection of mitigation projects. The methodology employed in this process has been accepted by the 8 states participating states in the process.

Abstract:

This dataset was developed as part of a Conservation Network design by The Conservation Fund for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The Fund utilized a green infrastructure approach that will help WVDNR integrate management of habitat for Species of Greatest Conservation Need within the context of an interconnected network of lands and waters, providing multiple benefits across the state. In order to establish the Network, digital datasets were created that represent core undisturbed habitats for forest, wetland, grassland, and aquatic areas. Corridors connecting forest, wetland, and aquatic areas were delineated to complete the Network.

Abstract:

This layer was developed for the green infrastructure network design being developed for the NiSource MSHCP Section 6 grant project. As part of The Conservation Fund's (the Fund's) Section 6 grant scope of work with the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife, the Fund supported the design and coordination of a consistent and effective mitigation approach across the NiSource natural gas pipeline transmission system in partnership with the States, NiSource, and USFWS. The Fund is utilizing a green infrastructure approach that will help NiSource and the States integrate species habitat mitigation within the context of an interconnected network of lands and waters, providing multiple benefits across the entire range of NiSource's natural gas pipeline transmission activities. Such an approach will also ensure a consistent methodology is used to determine selection of mitigation. The methodology employed in this process has been accepted by the 14 participating states in the process.

Abstract:

Displays a nuanced picture of the places where conservation is most likely to succeed over centuries. The project had parts: 1) identifying and mapping the geophysical settings, 2) developing a quantitative estimate of resilience for each setting based on landscape complexity and permeability, and 3) identifying key linkages that may be important in facilitating climate-induced regional movements. The final products include the identification of sites with high or low estimated resilience and overlays of these sites with the The Nature Conservancy (TNC) portfolio of important biodiversity sites. The products were presented in an ecoregional context, highlighting sites with the highest estimated resilience for each setting within each ecoregion.

Abstract:

This layer is provided by The Nature Conservancy to assist in wind development. By using Site Wind Right early in the process, developers, utilities, power-purchasers and agencies can help save time and money by highlighting areas with the lowest potential for conflict.

Abstract:

This dataset provides a vision for conservation success for ecosystems, natural communities and species representative of an ecoregion by showing the boundaries of areas that The Nature Conservancy has prioritized for conservation. Many portfolio areas were derived from Ecoregional Assessments, but other priorities derived using other planning methodologies are included in this global dataset.

Abstract:

The Nature Conservancy’s Southeast Resilience Project aimed to identify key places areas for conservation based on land characteristics that increase diversity and resilience. This is the estimated resilience score, based on the combined scores of landscape diversity and local connectedness, and ranked relative to the geophysical setting and ecoregion. The estimated resilience score is given as a SD category based on its standard normalized score for the setting and ecoregion.
