Additional environmental layers #54

Open ChristopherTracey opened 7 years ago

There's an open question from Cathy and Diana about including other layers in the tool that are, for all intents and purposes, the opposite of threats. These include

Adding additional layers is something that we should be somewhat cautious about, as we don't want to include layers just because we can. These seem like they might be related to the conservation of SGCN so it's definately something to consider.

My thought is that if these were integral parts of the PA WAP, then they should be included. However, I don't think they were and seem more like general conservation planning layers. As you said well, we should be careful not to add extraneous data layers here. Some of these data are already in PACE.

Good points. I'm falling on the side, of not adding them unless they are critical to understanding the results of the tool.
