Goals and Measurable Objectives for Focal Species of the Northwest Boreal LCC
2
The intent of this table is to provide a review/summary of the goals and measurable objectives (e.g., targets) identified in regional conservation plans within the NWB LCC for focal species selected by the NWB LCC. The entries for Caribou and Dall Sheep provide examples for completing the table.
3
Focal species = name of focal species (indicate if a subspecies)
4
Population or Evolutionary Significant Unit = where applicable, provide the name of the population targeted in the conservation plan
5
Conservation Goal = desired conservation outcome or result from a conservation planning process
6
Measurable Objective (or Target) = specific biological attribute or area required to meet conservation goals and answers the questions what, how much, where, and for how long
7
Maps/Datasets = list maps or datasets available or mentioned in the conservation plan that specify the location of features that are to be conserved or recommended for protection, for example population boundaries and critical habitat. Please do not duplicate information from the "NWBLCC focal species data" spreadsheet.
8
Source = citation for the report reviewed
9
Contact = name of the person who filled in the table and a contact email or phone number

EXAMPLE: Dall SheepNorth Richardson MountainsYT, AKKey habitats of Dall’s sheep should be conserved, and human activities should not reduce the ability of the range to support sheep.No target given (i.e., measure of area), but key habitats identified as winter range, lambing cliffs, salt licks and migration corridors.NoManagement Plan for Dall’s Sheep in the Northern Richardson Mountains: 2008-20132Kim Lisgo kim.lisgo@ualberta.ca
