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 list of plant species used during this project, and number of planning units required to recover each species, are included.

Purpose
The list of plant species to include in the optimization process, in addition to the number of planning units required to meet the recovery goals for each species were collated by a group of botanical experts. It is a subset of threatened, endangered and at-risk species that require designation of recovery habitat across the study area. Data were used to minimize the recovery footprint while ensuring all 36 species have adequate area designated for recovery.
