Assessing Threats to Conservation Priority Areas in State Wildlife Action Plans
States across the U.S. have developed Wildlife Action Plans, with the purpose of preventing future listings under the federal Endangered Species Act. Habitat loss and fragmentation are key threats to wildlife in the U.S., and housing development is a major driver of both. USGS is working to quantify the vulnerability of and threat to priority areas in State Wildlife Action Plans from future housing development to help inform effective and efficient targeting of conservation actions.
