Conservation Areas - Idaho-Montana Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Areas for the Idaho and Southwestern Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Conservation Areas are seamless and cover the extent of the Idaho-SW Montana GRSG EIS. They include non-habitat as well as habitat/Sage-Grouse Management areas identified in all alternatives. The Sage-grouse Conservation Areas are intended to be used for summarizing sage-grouse habitat and form the geographic basis for evaluating disturbance density and adaptive management strategies. The Idaho Governor's Conservation Areas were used as the foundation for this layer. Management Areas - Greater Sage-Grouse Management Areas (habitat) in the Proposed Plan of the Great Basin Region, Idaho-SW Montana Sub-region, Greater Sage-grouse Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as Priority, Important, and General. Management Areas were delineated by BLM, U.S. Forest Service, State of Idaho and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service based on considerations of sage-grouse occupancy, landscape, habitat and land use/adaptive management opportunities. Habitat - The 2015 Sage-grouse Habitat Planning Map update incorporates wildfire data and other edits relevant to the 2015 field and fire season as per typical processes used during the past decade. Additional areas of non-habitat, such as paved highways, municipal boundaries, water bodies etc., were also removed. However, the map extent for sage-grouse key habitat and potential restoration areas should be considered provisional, contingent on the final outcome of additional analyses currently underway in association with the national Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Strategy. This data was developed as the Administrative Draft Proposed Plan (ADPP). for the Great Basin Region, Idaho-SW Montana Sub-region, Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). This layer was edited 5/7/2015 at the WO direction to add three areas of non-habitat in the Sagebrush Focal Areas as PHMA. See processing steps.
