The Undeveloped Habitat Blocks datasets are part of a group of datasets developed and published by the Beginning with Habitat Program (https://www.maine.gov/ifw/fish-wildlife/wildlife/beginning-with-habitat/index.html), a partnership of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Maine Natural Areas Program and other state, federal, and NGO conservation partners in Maine. Maps produced from these data are presented to municipalities and land trusts to encourage open-space planning efforts that include a vision for the preservation of biodiversity.
This dataset was created in December 2023 by The Nature Conservancy in Maine in cooperation with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Maine Natural Areas Program, Maine Audubon, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, and Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
The primary purpose of the undeveloped habitat block components is to encourage conservation and development planning that includes a vision of the larger patterns of undeveloped habitat and landscape connectivity.
