Description: The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the nation's inventory of protected areas, including public open space and voluntarily provided, private protected areas, identified as an A-16 National Geospatial Data Asset in the Cadastral Theme (http://www.fgdc.gov/ngda-reports/NGDA_Datasets.html). PAD-US is an ongoing project with several published versions of a spatial database of areas dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity, and other natural, recreational or cultural uses, managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means. The geodatabase maps and describes public open space and other protected areas. Most areas are public lands owned in fee; however, long-term easements, leases, and agreements or administrative designations documented in agency management plans may be included. The PAD-US database strives to be a complete “best available” inventory of protected areas (lands and waters) including data provided by managing agencies and organizations. The dataset is built in collaboration with several partners and data providers (http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/stewards/). See Supplemental Information Section of this metadata record for more information on partnerships and links to major partner organizations. As this dataset is a compilation of many data sets; data completeness, accuracy, and scale may vary. Federal and state data are generally complete, while local government and private protected area coverage is about 50% complete, and depends on data management capacity in the state. For completeness estimates by state: http://www.protectedlands.net/partners. As the federal and state data are reasonably complete; focus is shifting to completing the inventory of local gov and voluntarily provided, private protected areas. The PAD-US geodatabase contains over twenty-five attributes and four feature classes to support data management, queries, web mapping services and analyses: Marine Protected Areas (MPA), Fee, Easements and Combined. The data contained in the MPA Feature class are provided directly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Protected Areas Center (MPA, http://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov ) tracking the National Marine Protected Areas System. The Easements feature class contains data provided directly from the National Conservation Easement Database (NCED, http://conservationeasement.us ) The MPA and Easement feature classes contain some attributes unique to the sole source databases tracking them (e.g. Easement Holder Name from NCED, Protection Level from NOAA MPA Inventory). The "Combined" feature class integrates all fee, easement and MPA features as the best available national inventory of protected areas in the standard PAD-US framework. In addition to geographic boundaries, PAD-US describes the protection mechanism category (e.g. fee, easement, designation, other), owner and managing agency, designation type, unit name, area, public access and state name in a suite of standardized fields. An informative set of references (i.e. Aggregator Source, GIS Source, GIS Source Date) and "local" or source data fields provide a transparent link between standardized PAD-US fields and information from authoritative data sources. The areas in PAD-US are also assigned conservation measures that assess management intent to permanently protect biological diversity: the nationally relevant "GAP Status Code" and global "IUCN Category" standard. A wealth of attributes facilitates a wide variety of data analyses and creates a context for data to be used at local, regional, state, national and international scales. More information about specific updates and changes to this PAD-US version can be found in the Data Quality Information section of this metadata record as well as on the PAD-US website, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/history/.) Due to the completeness and complexity of these data, it is highly recommended to review the Supplemental Information Section of the metadata record as well as the Data Use Constraints, to better understand data partnerships as well as see tips and ideas of appropriate uses of the data and how to parse out the data that you are looking for.

Description: This polygon feature class shows the spatial extent and boundaries of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern that have become officially designated by the BLM. These polygon features were previously in a pre-designated status (i.e. being considered as areas to be eventually designated as official ACEC designated polygonst). Once these polygon feature left the Pre-Designated phase (transitioned from a Considered to Designated status), they were removed from the ACEC Pre-designated polygon feature class and placed in this ACEC Designated polygon feature class. This dataset is a subset of the official national dataset, containing features and attributes intended for public release and has been optimized for online map service performance. The Implementation Guide represents the official national dataset from which this dataset was derived.

Description: Landowners and land managers throughout Oregon can contribute to conserving fish and wildlife by maintaining, restoring, and improving habitats. These conservation actions benefit Strategy Species and Strategy Habitats, and are important regardless of location. However, focusing investments in prioritized areas, or Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs), can increase the likelihood of long-term success, maximize effectiveness over larger landscapes, improve funding efficiency, and promote cooperative efforts across ownership boundaries. COAs are places where broad fish and wildlife conservation goals would best be met, and have been designated for all ecoregions within the Conservation Strategy, except the Nearshore ecoregion. COAs were delineated through a spatial modeling analysis, incorporating datasets focusing on Oregon Conservation Strategy components (Strategy Species, Strategy Habitats, and Key Conservation Issues), and expert biologist review. More information on COA methodolofy can be found here: http://oregonconservationstrategy.org/conservation-opportunity-areas/methodology/.COAs include supporting information in an associated COA profile, including details about the area’s Conservation Strategy priorities, recommended actions consistent with local priorities, and ongoing conservation efforts. Links to COA profiles are provided as an attribute in the COA dataset, and can also be found here - http://oregonconservationstrategy.org/conservation-opportunity-areas/.

Description: Generally, deer and elk need habitat which provides a combination of food, water, and security to survive and reproduce. Abundance, distribution, and connectivity of these habitats are crucial to species survival and may vary seasonally depending on a specific species dependence on migratory or non-migratory behavior to fulfill life history requirements. Habitats supporting Black-tailed deer exhibiting a predominately migratory life history are subdivided into Summer Concentration Habitat and Winter Concentration Habitat. Habitats supporting Black-tailed deer and Elk exhibiting a predominately non-migratory life history are subdivided into Year-around Major Habitat and Year-round.Categories: Peripheral Habitat. Areas where the presence of deer and elk are considered in conflict with primary land uses are described as Impacted Areas. Specific deer and elk habitat descriptions are as follows:Winter Concentration Area: Winter seasonal concentration areas include areas identified and mapped as providing essential and limited functions and values (e.g. thermal cover, security from predation and harassment, forage quantity, adequate nutritional quality, escape from disturbance, etc.) for concentrated migratory deer or elk typically from November through April. Summer Concentration Area: Summer seasonal concentration areas include areas identified and mapped as providing essential and limited functions and values (e.g., thermal cover, security from predation and harassment, forage quantity, adequate nutritional quality, calving and fawning areas, etc.) for concentrated migratory deer or elk typically from May through October. Year-round Major Habitat: Year-round major habitat includes areas identified and mapped as providing essential functions and values (e.g., thermal cover, security from predation and harassment, forage quantity, adequate nutritional quality, calving and fawning areas, etc.) for non-migratory deer or elk. However, these habitats are not limited on a physiographic basis.Year-round Peripheral Habitat: Year-round peripheral habitat includes areas identified and mapped as providing important functions and values (e.g. cover, forage, etc.) for deer or elk. However, these habitats typically do not provide essential functions and values and are occasionally subject to land owner actions to discourage deer and elk use but are not identified as deer or elk de-emphasis areas. Impacted Area: Impacted areas include areas identified and mapped subject to anthropogenic development such as areas within urban growth boundaries, city limits, otherwise determined to be less suitable habitat for deer or elk because of conflicts with proximity to humans, disease, damage, or public nuisance resulting from use by local or resident deer or elk. Although these areas may support substantial numbers of deer or elk, traditional proactive management actions are often not possible and/or ineffective due to local ordinances and proximity to people.

Description: Essential pronghorn habitat is that habitat that ODFW district biologists determined to be necessary to maintain current pronghorn populations. It is not all the occupied pronghorn habitat in Oregon but loss of this habitat would result in the declne of pronghorn herds. All these habitats are considered essential although they have different types. The types include essential and important summer range; essential and important winter range; essential and important transitional habitats or migration corridors; high concentration areas; fawning habitat; migration/transition range, and a combinations of multiple types. The mapping is based on existing Goal 5 mapping, expert knowledge of field staff, collar data, herd composition surveys, and other aerial surveys.
