Description: This dataset represents updated (in 2016) potential habitat in Florida for this focal species. Updates are based on the Cooperative Land Cover layer v3.2 (2016) that replaces the 2003 land cover layer. Potential-habitat maps for each focal species identify all potential habitats in Florida. For each species, we generated a binary raster of potential habitat with 30- x 30-m resolution (potential habitat v. nonhabitat). Sometimes, potential-habitat maps were re-sampled to a larger pixel size because the software package had processing limitations on the maximum number of pixels. In 1994, researchers in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission completed a project, entitled Closing The Gaps in Florida's Wildlife Habitat Conservation System (Cox et al 1994), assessing the security of rare and imperiled species on existing conservation lands in Florida. These biologists used a variety of species occurrence data, habitat data and a geographic information system (GIS) to determine the protection afforded to focal species on publicly owned lands and identify important habitat areas in Florida with no conservation protection. These areas, known as Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas (SHCA), serve as a foundation for conservation planning in Florida by clearly depicting the crucial need for species protection through habitat conservation. The results of this research have provided biologists, policy-makers, land-use planners and the citizens of Florida the tools and opportunity to help meet our wildlife conservation goals. Over time, the Closing the Gaps report became outdated. Since 1994, landscape-level habitat changes, transfer of land from private to public ownership and changes in land use altered the ability to accurately assess Florida's biodiversity and wildlife conservation status. As a result, Commission biologists and managers recognized the urgent need for a revisiting of Florida's Closing the Gaps project. Advances in technological capabilities, revised habitat data, and more extensive species occurrence data facilitated a reassessment of Florida's biodiversity protection status. Additionally, advances in population viability modeling techniques allowed examination of wildlife habitat needs with a degree and clarity that was not available in the previous report. The results of this project have helped determine how habitat protection needs have changed since 1994 and where protection efforts need to be focused to ensure conservation of Florida's wildlife for future generations.
