Theme keywords: Special Concern, Threatened, Endangered, NatureServe, Natural Heritage, Biological Conservation Database (BCD), Wildlife
Abstract: Locations of wildlife species that are endangered, threatened, or of special concern in Maine as mapped by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (Natural Heritage Program). Each observation is buffered by a 0.25-mile-radius circle that does not indicate habitat but is a "consultation zone" within which species experts at Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife should be consulted to determine potential effects of activities upon the species. Last updated 2008-02-06.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Description:
Abstract: fix(original)
Locations of wildlife species that are endangered, threatened, or of special concern in Maine as mapped by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (Natural Heritage Program).  Each observation is buffered by a 0.25-mile-radius circle that does not indicate habitat but is a "consultation zone" within which species experts at Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife should be consulted to determine potential effects of activities upon the species.  Last updated 2008-02-06.

Purpose: fix(original)
Status assessment, species management, environmental reviews, and habitat conservation for Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern wildlife species.

Supplemental information: fix(original)
NatureServe (the Natural Heritage Program Network) was created by the Nature Conservancy.  It is designed to track information on the status, life history, conservation needs, and occurrences for rare species and natural communities.  MDIFW is responsible for maintaining the zoological portion of the database.
