Connecticut Wildlife Conservation Opportunity Areas for 2025

Connecticut's 2025 State Wildlife Action Plan identifies 7 conservation opportunity areas (COAs) for partner actions. The State of Connecticut created this data by combining ecological and social data in Zonation spatial prioritization software. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map 'protect', 'connect', 'restore', 'manage', 'partner', 'inform', and 'research and monitor' action areas using the 7 COA designations.
• Analyze spatial overlap between different COA types to identify multi-benefit conservation sites.
• Integrate COA boundaries with ecological and social data layers used in the Zonation prioritization model.

Strengths

• Data covers the entire state of Connecticut.
• Includes 7 distinct conservation action categories for analysis.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column names, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• The ecological and social data layers used to create the COAs are not provided as separate features.
