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. Data include the underlying land-use configuration file, predictive climate models, list of plant species and number of populations to recover/protect, habitat and forest bird distribution information, presence of fencing, land management status, and naming protocol file. We identified a suite of potential conservation footprints that are constrained [...]

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.
