About this dataset

[Metadata]  Description:  Threatened and Endangered Plants as of 1992

Source: State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resouces, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW).

There is one T&E coverage for each island.  Each island is divided into distinct zones of T&E species concentration, ranging from 'low' concentration to 'very high' concentration of T&E plant species.  It should be noted, however, that for these particular coverages,concentration does not necessarily reflect the rareness of a particular plant species.  In other words, an area designated as having a 'low' concentration of T&E species may include the last known occurrence of a particular plant species.

All island coverages were digitized from Division of Forestry and Wildlife's mylar threatened and endangered (T&E) plant species maps.   The maps were all at a scale of 1:62,500 except Hawaii, which was at a scale of 1:250,000.  DOFAW's maps were created using The Nature Conservancy's Rare & Endangered Species maps.

May 2024:  Hawaii Statewide GIS Program staff removed extraneous fields that had been added as part of the 2016 GIS database conversion and were no longer needed.
