| Abstract: |
The Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment is an analysis of the
geographic distribution of certain types of natural resources, or resource-based
land uses (such as recreation or sustainable forestry), that have been identified by
the Legislature as needing increased conservation attention. The Inventory
developed or compiled statewide data for 15 resource types that have been
identified by the Florida Forever Advisory Council as the focus of Florida
Forever’s conservation actions. The geographic data for these resource types is
compared with existing public conservation lands and proposed environmental
land acquisition projects to evaluate the protection status of these resources and
to guide decisions about future conservation efforts. |
