ALL - Summary Using 5 Criteria

This map shows the results of a simple method of prioritizing ecological importance that equally weights five criteria: Ecoregional Assessments, Biological Diversity, Wildness, Productivity, and Target Habitats (i.e., Sage/Shrub-Steppe). Dark green areas score high according to these criteria. However, other factors, such as connectivity and level of protection, should be considered in a comprehensive assessment of ecological value.
