Measuring the Conservation Value of Certified Forests Straddling the Maine-New Brunswick Border

Project Details
| Name | Measuring the Conservation Value of Certified Forests Straddling the Maine-New Brunswick Border |
| Description | SFI funded/collaborated with NatureServe to quantify the conservation impact of SFI-certified lands by developing nine scalable metrics to measure biodiversity and other important conservation values on managed forest landscapes. They piloted assessments on different forest ecosystems on the US-Canada border in Maine and New Brunswick. SFI certified lands, due to their scale, contiguity, and diversity, serve a special role in conserving biodiversity at landscape scale and for wide-ranging species. Partners include: NatureServe, SFI, Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre, Maine Natural Areas Program, Resource Management Service, Hancock Natural Resource Group, and J.D. Irving |

Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
Absolute value (STAR)
15.8
0% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of The Americas is covered by this project.
543,527.6
45.4% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from The Americas.
This stacked bar chart represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
