State, Territory, and NatureServe Conservation Listing Status of Taxa in National Park Service Units for use in Determining Appropriate Release of Data
DeVivo JC. 2023. State, Territory, and NatureServe Conservation Listing Status of Taxa in National Park Service Units for use in Determining Appropriate Release of Data. Data Release Report. NPS/NRSS/DRR—2021/2. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2272465
In 2013, Executive Order 13642, Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information (GPO 2013), and associated policies issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB 2013) mandated that all data be made public by default unless those data are protected from release by one or more authorities. Staff at all National Park Service (NPS) units where the Inventory & Monitoring Division conducts activities identified resources that warrant some level of data protection, and default rules to be used when disseminating information about those resources. In nearly all cases, information about taxa on State and NatureServe lists of species of conservation concern were identified as taxa about which data must be protected from public release. This report documents the creation of a standard dataset of state-, territory-, and NatureServe-designated taxa for each NPS unit to use in developing public-access versions of inventory & monitoring datasets developed by the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program.
