- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
Secured Areas are managed parcels protected for natural resource conservation. These lands are owned and managed by various organizations: public and private, for-profit and non-profit.
- Purpose:
-
The spatial arrangement of protected lands, and knowledge of their management regime, help guide conservation efforts and measure their success.

- Enumerated_Domain:
-
- Enumerated_Domain_Value: 1
- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover and a mandated management plan in operation to maintain a natural state within which disturbance events (of natural type, frequency, intensity, and legacy) are allowed to proceed without interference or are mimicked through management.
- Enumerated_Domain:
-
- Enumerated_Domain_Value: 2
- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover and a mandated management plan in operation to maintain a primarily natural state, but which may receive uses or management practices that degrade the quality of existing natural communities, including suppression of natural disturbance.
- Enumerated_Domain:
-
- Enumerated_Domain_Value: 3
- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover for the majority of the area, but subject to extractive uses of either a broad, low-intensity type (e.g., logging) or localized intense type (e.g., mining). It also confers protection to federally listed endangered and threatened species throughout the area.
- Enumerated_Domain:
-
- Enumerated_Domain_Value: 4
- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
There are no known public or private institutional mandates or legally recognized easements or deed restrictions held by the managing entity to prevent conversion of natural habitat types to anthropogenic habitat types. The area generally allows conversion to unnatural land cover throughout.
