The San Francisco Bay Area Upland Habitat Goals Project is a science-based process that is using existing and new data supplemented by expert opinion to recommend the types, amounts and distribution of upland habitats, linkages, compatible uses and the ecological processes needed to sustain diverse and healthy communities of plant, fish and wildlife resources in the nine-county Bay Area. The resulting GIS database and reference document are intended to be decision-support tools to inform voluntary, non-regulatory investments, protection strategies and management policies of public resource agencies, nonprofit conservation organizations, local government, legislators and private foundations seeking to preserve, enhance and restore the biological diversity of upland habitats before advancing development eliminates remaining opportunities.
