Habitat Value

dataset: habitat_value_75m_20241024_vg2020.tif
Habitat Value is a modelled raster dataset that provides a view of relative biodiversity importance of all parts of the Victorian landscape. The dataset ranks each pixel in Victoria on a scale of 0-100, with lower ranked pixels having low predicted biodiversity values, and higher ranked pixels predicted to have higher biodiversity values. The main inputs to the dataset are habitat distribution models of vascular plants and vertebrate fauna. These input datasets were then analysed by Zonation v5 software utilising Core-Area Zonation: Maximum retention. This integrated information is important because decision-makers need access to an objective, comprehensive and spatially explicit view of the importance of biodiversity assets to enable comparison of locations across Victoria.

Purpose
The information provided by Habitat Value is potentially useful for a wide range of decision makers and natural resource managers. Information about the relative value of biodiversity assets can help inform conservation decision-making processes, such as: - prioritising areas for protection or conservation zoning - avoidance of high biodiversity - raising awareness of the spread of biodiversity values across Victoria
