Yukon Species Conservation Concern Point Locations

CDC Species of Conservation Concern - Centroids is a point layer from the Yukon Conservation Data Centre flagging known locations of at-risk species. It serves as a simplified view for scales beyond 1:160,000, with actual polygon details available in a separate layer. The dataset is distributed by the Government of Yukon via GeoYukon.

Use Cases

• Perform spatial analysis on point centroids to identify general areas of high conservation concern density in Yukon.
• Use the point layer as a visual flag for species presence when creating regional-scale (beyond 1:160,000) interactive maps.
• Cross-reference the centroid points with the detailed Species of Conservation Concern polygon layer for multi-scale habitat mapping.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Yukon Conservation Data Centre.
• Dataset was last updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.
• Designed for specific cartographic use at scales beyond 1:160,000.

Limitations

• Contains only centroid points, not the detailed polygon geometries of species locations.
• Sample data and specific record counts (rows) are unavailable for assessing dataset scale.
• Column structure is unknown, limiting understanding of available attributes.
