Legal mandates prevent the permanent conversion of natural habitat types to anthropogenic habitat types and confer protection to populations of Federally listed endangered and threatened species. 4 Private or public lands without an existing easement or irrevocable management agreement to maintain native species and natural communities and which is managed for intensive human use. 5 This is not a standard GAP code. We used this code to classify open bodies of water (e.g. lakes, ponds, reservoirs) for which GAP protection was unknown. *Please note that MN GAP has assigned some additional GAP codes which are described in their metadata file STATE 2-letter state abbreviation SOURCE Code corresponding to data source ACRES Area of parcel in acres--this HA Area of parcel in hectares--this AVSORT Simplified designation name DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY: The data provided by CommEn Space and can be purchased from CBI.
