Common use of Conditions on Covered Lands Clause in Contracts

Conditions on Covered Lands. [Describe the population levels of the covered species existing at the time the SHA is being developed (if known or obtainable,) identify existing and anticipated threats and describe habitat use by the species. Describe the existing habitat characteristics on the enrolled lands or waters covered by the agreement. If available, reference the recovery plan or other conservation plans and strategies for the covered species and include relevant information, maps, and management recommendations. To avoid potential management conflicts, reference all other listed and candidate species that occur on the property and management actions for these species.] [Insert name of covered species] Habitat on Covered Lands [Briefly summarize.] [Insert name of covered species] Presence/Numbers on Covered Lands [Briefly summarize.] Role of the Covered Lands in the Conservation of [insert name of covered species] [Briefly describe the role of the property enrolled in the SHA in the overall conservation of the species. If a recovery plan has been developed for the species, briefly describe how the SHA links to the recovery goals and objectives. You may compare the enrolled property to the entire species range or to a smaller management unit if the species is wide-ranging. Metrics that are relevant to include might be what percent of the habitat available to the species throughout the species range or management unit, is found on the covered lands. Also how does the habitat quality and intactness (lack of fragmentation) compare to other areas locally and within the species range or management unit. Also are the covered lands in the middle of the range or on the fringes. Then do the same for population numbers, in other words, what percent of the rangewide (or other relevant unit) population is on the covered lands. Using the enrolled lands information and comparing it to the species range or management unit as a whole provides a good sense of the relative importance of the enrolled lands to the conservation of the species.]
