Target Lists for Lanai Island Spatial Prioritization of Native Plant Habitat and Hunting Areas, 2021

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-10-18T00:00:00Z
Broadly, recovery of threatened and endangered species requires specific management actions by natural resource managers at a fine scale. We used a systematic conservation planning framework to outline conservation goals across multiple land-uses, including native habitat protection and identifying endangered species-specific recovery areas while minimizing intrusion on existing hunting areas on the island of Lanai. We used spatial prioritization tools to generate multiple scenarios where both conservation and hunting areas (deemed zones for analysis purposes) were delineated to meet land-use goals. These delineated areas will help land managers to minimize conflicts between uses for populations of non-native game animals and the conservation and restoration of native plant species in climate resilient areas. This dataset includes 3 data tables (.csv). These three tables contain identical column names and descriptions including: input name, the proportion of area for each input to conserve, and which zone (conservation or hunting) to allocate the input to in the spatial prioritization analysis. What varies between these three tables is the amount of AA_CGMA and AA_PL (both are hunting areas) and native_habitat to be conserved during scenario analyses.
