Sum - Conservation Focus Areas (2016)

Sum of all conservation focus areas (CFA) for a particular area (UPDATED TO INCLUDE CONSERVATION PRIORITIES DELINEATED IN LATEST STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLANS (ca. 2015/2016)). These focus areas include both those delineated at the state scale as well as regionally. States focus areas are included for all states in the Mississippi River Basin that have delineated focus/opportunity areas. States that are not included either have not delineated focus areas or were in the process of developing them at the time of data collection. States where CFA are pending: Texas and Wyoming. States where CFA have not been identified: Georgia; Maryland; Michigan; New Mexico; New York; and Oklahoma. Regional focus area include those delineated by: The Nature Conservancy; Bobwhite Conservation Initiative; Commission for Environmental Cooperation; Ducks Unlimited; Joint Ventures; National Audubon Society; American Bird Conservancy; USDA-NRCS; and USFWS.
