Broadly, recovery of threatened and endangered species requires specific management actions by natural resource managers at a fine scale. We used a systematic conservation planning framework to outline conservation goals across multiple land-uses, including native habitat protection and identifying endangered species-specific recovery areas while minimizing intrusion on existing hunting areas on the island of Lanai. We used spatial prioritization tools to generate multiple scenarios where both conservation and hunting areas (deemed zones for analysis purposes) were delineated to meet land-use goals. These delineated areas will help land managers to minimize conflicts between uses for populations of non-native game animals and the conservation and restoration of native plant species in climate resilient areas. This dataset includes one data table (.csv): a list of the plant species included in the analysis, and their listed federal status.

This data release includes data and metadata on all native plant species, native habitat, and hunting areas included in the spatial prioritization analyses.

This dataset includes 3 data tables (.csv). These three tables contain identical column names and descriptions including: input name, the proportion of area for each input to conserve, and which zone (conservation or hunting) to allocate the input to in the spatial prioritization analysis. What varies between these three tables is the amount of AA_CGMA and AA_PL (both are hunting areas) and native_habitat to be conserved during scenario analyses.

Multi-species recovery planning can be a challenging natural resource management task. In collaboration with state and federal agencies, and botanical and technical experts, we developed and tested a multi-step optimization process to assist in identifying the minimum climate resilient habitat for the recovery of multiple threatened, endangered, and at-risk plant species across east Maui. Data include the underlying land-use configuration file, predictive climate models, list of plant species and number of populations to recover/protect, habitat and forest bird distribution information, presence of fencing, land management status, and naming protocol file. We identified a suite of potential conservation footprints that are constrained by ecological and resource management selection criteria based input and co-production with botanical experts and resource managers. These solutions include recovery habitat for all species of interest. The optimization process also identified priority recovery planning units, equal to the number of populations required for recovery, to inform find-scale recovery efforts. Data include: 1) underlying land-use configuration and input metrics used for optimization, input_metrics.gpkg; 2) species list, species_list.csv; 3) and output metrics from an example solution, pu_solution_example.gpkg.
