Supplemental Materials for Identification of Priority Resources of Concern, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Description

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) staff met May-September 2020 to identify priority ROC which are the species, habitats, and special values in highest need of conservation attention. Alaska Inventory and Monitoring staff facilitated conversations to develop criteria and a rating system based on species attributes that reflect refuge interests.

Arctic NWR staff chose 8 criteria to rate species: 1) species or species groups in Refuge purposes, 2) NWRS trust resources, 3) species in high need of attention based on conservation plans, 4) Refuge management issues and challenges, 5) cultural and subsistence importance, 6) climate vulnerability, 7) recreational importance, 8) and stewardship. Staff weighted the criteria and the weighted average score was used to rank species. They identified priority ROC based on individual species rankings, species groups of similar needs, habitats that supported highly ranked species, and special values of the Arctic NWR.
