Small Home Range SAR Priority Areas – Gap Analysis

Conduct a gap analysis to determine

priorities for conservation actions for small home range species-at-risk (SAR)

Work collaboratively with First

Nations to improve wildlife management, habitat conservation and recover SAR

Use systematic conservation

planning approach (Margules & Pressey 2000)

Expected results = better conservation
utcomes for SAR, improved return on

investment, and increased co-benefits for biodiversity and ecosystems

Next Steps

1. Compile “cost” layer
Land Tenure (e.g., forest tenure)
Protection (e.g., approved Wildlife Habitat Areas)
2. Run optimisation tool with and without owl (test) data
3. Collaborate with Sto:lo
Incorporate First Nation values and objectives
Re-run optimisation tool including Sto:lo input
