FWC Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas for CLIP. This is the revised SHCA data (2007) prioritized into five classes for the Century Commission CLIP analysis. Priority 1 is species with Heritage ranks of S1 and G1-G3. Priority two is species with ranks of S1, G4-G5 or S2, G2-G3. Priority 3 is species with Heritage ranks of S2, G4-G5 or S3, G3. Priority 4 is species with ranks of S3, G4. Priority 5 is species with ranks of S3, G5 or S4, G4.
This modified FWC model represents prioritized areas of habitat that are essential to sustain a minimum viable population for focal species of terrestrial vertebrates that were not adequately protected on existing conservation lands.

1) These data were created using input data consistent with 24,000 to 1:100,000 map scale resolution. Such data are of sufficient resolution for state and regional scale conservation planning. They are not appropriate for use in high accuracy mapping applications such as property parcel boundaries, local government comprehensive plans, zoning, DRI, site plans, environmental resource or otheragency permitting, wetland delineations, or other uses requiring more specific and ground survey quality data. 2) The analysis, maps and data on this website were developed for state and regional conservation planning purposes and are not intended, nor sufficient, to be the basis for local government comprehensive plans, environmental resource or agency permitting decisions. 3) These data are likely to be regularly updated and it is the responsibility of the user to obtain the most recent available version of the database. 4) Data should not be transferred to a third party, in data or map form, without noting these disclaimers.
This data layer was created by FWC to identify gaps in the existing statewide system of wildlife conservation areas, and to inform ongoing land acquisition and conservation efforts.
