Stewardship Responsibility

Based on the Montana Natural Heritage Program's latest predicted habitat suitability model

Total species' range in Montana 228,990 km2 (60% of Montana)
Area predicted to have
some level of suitable habitat		 112,137 km2 (29% of Montana)

Stewardship responsibility for the predicted area of suitable habitat can be broken down as follows

  Total Suitable Optimal Suitability Moderate Suitability Low Suitability
Federal 42% <1% 6% 36%
State 5% <1% 1% 4%
Local <1% <1% <1% <1%
Conservation Lands/Easements 4% <1% 1% 3%
Private/Tribal/Unknown 49% <1% 8% 41%

See the Habitat Suitability for Biodiversity task in Map Viewer for a more detailed look at stewardship responsibilities within a variety of local jurisdictions.
