- Description:
- This map is being used as part of the Conserving Nature’s Stage Land Protection Grant process in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Please see instructions on how to contribute information on potential projects and help The Nature Conservancy and the Land Protection Committee identify land protection priorities for the 2016-2017 grant program by going to http://nature.org/resilienceNW_LandGrants.
The dataset consists of the upper two quintiles of unconverted resilient lands with the exclusion of clusters of 10 or fewer contiguous resilient pixels (180 or fewer acres) in areas scoring below 40% for resilience density. The resilience and resilience density layers this dataset is based on are viewable on other maps within this gallery.
These data are part of a land facet terrestrial resilience project created for the Pacific Northwest to identify the most resilient terrestrial sites in the Northwest U.S. that will collectively and individually best sustain native biodiversity even as the changing climate alters current distribution patterns. The central idea is that by mapping key geophysical features and evaluating them for landscape characteristics that buffer against the effects of climate change, we can identify the most resilient places in order to guide future conservation investments. All the datasets, along with the full report containing methods and maps are available at: http://nature.org/resilienceNW
