Summary
Multi-species recovery planning can be a challenging natural resource management task. In collaboration with state and federal agencies, and botanical and technical experts, we developed and tested a multi-step optimization process to assist in identifying the minimum climate resilient habitat for the recovery of multiple threatened, endangered, and at-risk plant species across east Maui. The dataset presented here includes all metrics used to consider selection of units for the spatial optimization.

Purpose
Input data include delineation of planning units (PUs) which served as the unit of analysis in the optimization process. Additional data inputs were aggregated from publicly available sites and/or shared by collaborators. These data served as metrics evaluated during the optimization process to meet species recovery goals. Metrics were also used for weighting optimization solutions in a subsequent step of selecting a conservation footprint. Results presented in this data release are part of a pilot project, and do not reflect a final management determination by experts. The entity and attribute data here serves as an example of all fields generated for a given plant species, which are listed in the Taxonomy section.
