For years Esri has been providing federal information in the Living Atlas of the World. The great news is that now many federal agencies are developing layers and apps of their own. This is true for US Fish and Wildlife Service, whose Critical Habitat Designated Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act<\/a> layer now joins the Living Atlas of the World, produced by the Federal User Community.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Esri Critical Habitat Raster Layers Enter Mature Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, Living Atlas of the World has maintained 17 raster layers representing critical habitat including 15 individual species of concern. Updated annually, these raster layers do not exactly match the Critical Habitat Designated Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act layer which is updated throughout the year.<\/p>\n

The decision was made that these individual raster layers will no longer be maintained annually by the Living Atlas team and will enter mature support.<\/p>\n

Creating a raster from the new critical habitat layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how do you create your own critical habitat raster if there is no raster layer for your species of concern, or if the critical habitat raster layer you have been using is going into mature support?<\/p>\n

The following are the steps to make your own raster of a species of concern. Before you begin, you must have a spatial analyst license to use some of the tools to create the rasters.<\/p>\n

As an example, let\u2019s use the critical habitat for bull trout<\/a>, a fish found in Northwestern USA streams and lakes, to create one of these rasters. We will create a 30 meter cellsize 1-bit raster for bull trout critical habitat like the ones in the Living Atlas. In these rasters, a value of 1 in a pixel means bull trout critical habitat is present, and a value of 0 means bull trout critical habitat is not present.<\/p>\n

The Living Atlas layer for bull trout is among the least straightforward to create since it\u2019s made by rasterizing lines and polygons and bringing them together into a single 1-bit raster.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1117131,"id":1117131,"title":"Bull Trout","filename":"BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","filesize":79167,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/natural-resources\/critical-habitat-feature-to-raster\/bulltroutusfws1000-2","alt":"","author":"4941","description":"Picture of Bull Trout","caption":"Bull Trout","name":"bulltroutusfws1000-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1113741,"date":"2021-01-19 16:46:42","modified":"2021-01-19 16:47:14","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":317,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":147,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":243,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","large-width":1000,"large-height":317,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":317,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":317,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1-826x262.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":262,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BullTroutUsfws1000-1.png","wide_image-width":1000,"wide_image-height":317}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.fws.gov\/pacific\/bulltrout\/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

In ArcGIS Pro, search for the layer \u201cCritical Habitat Designated Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act\u201d in the Living Atlas and add it to a map. This is the authoritative feature layer from US Fish and Wildlife Service, produced by Federal User Community.<\/p>\n

You will notice \u201cFWS HQ ES Critical Habitat\u201d becomes two layers of line features and two of polygon features in your map\u2019s table of contents. The USFWS layers separate final and proposed critical habitat. You will find bull trout on the final list of species in both the lines and polygons.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s isolate the critical habitat for bull trout from all the critical habitat. To do this, apply a definition query<\/a> to the final lines and polygons.
