Regional Conservation Investment Strategy (RCIS) Boundaries [ds3011]

An RCIS is a voluntary, non-regulatory, and non-binding conservation assessment that includes information and analyses relating to the conservation of focal species, habitats, and other conservation elements in the RCIS area. Any public agency may develop an RCIS. An RCIS establishes biological goals and objectives at the species level and describes conservation actions and habitat enhancement actions that, if implemented, will contribute to those goals and objectives. Those actions will benefit the conservation of focal species, habitats, and other natural resources, and they may be used as a basis to provide advance mitigation through the development of credits or to inform other conservation investments.区域保护评估（RCIS）是一种自愿性、非监管且无约束力的保护评估，涵盖RCIS覆盖区域内重点物种、栖息地及其他保护要素的相关保护信息与分析。任何公共机构均可编制RCIS。RCIS会确立物种层面的生物学保护目标与具体指标，并阐述若付诸实施即可助力达成上述目标的保护行动与栖息地改善举措。此类行动将有益于重点物种、栖息地及其他自然资源的保护，同时可作为通过开发生态补偿额度开展预先生态减缓措施，或是为其他保护投资提供决策参考的基础。
