The original CHAT was developed in 2013, in collaboration with the Western Governors’ Association and 18 other states, for the purpose of creating a regional spatial data tool to identify crucial wildlife habitat across the western U.S. This 2015 update was completed for use in the 2015 Revision of the Colorado State Wildlife Action Plan, as a way to highlight terrestrial conservation opportunity areas. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>These are the original hexagons created for the 2013 Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool (CHAT) for Colorado, but the attributes have been updated with the 2015 revision to reflect the revised (2015 SWAP Revision) list of Tier 1 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), and to incorporate updated occurrence data and improved distribution data for some species. CNHP developed species distribution models for 17 Tier 1 SGCN. Both documented and modeled distribution data for Tier 1 animal and plant SGCN have been combined at the resolution of 640 acre hexagons across the state. Each hexagon is then placed into one of six CHAT priority categories based on rules developed by the Western Governor's Association CHAT member organizations. Use field [hexScoreCat] to duplicate the CHAT map in the 2015 Colorado State Wildlife Action Plan revision. CHAT Category Criteria 1 At least one T, E, G1, or G2 species with documented occurrence, or at least two G3 species with documented occurrence 2 At least one document occurrence of a C or G3 species, or at least two documented occurrences of a G4 species 3 Modeled distribution of at least one G3 species, or documented occurrence of at least one G4 species 4 Modeled distribution of at least one C or G4 species, or documented occurrence of at least one G5 species 5 Modeled distribution of at least one G5 species</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
