Description: The following information relates these 3 datasets:Biodiversity - Rare species at riskBiodiversity - Rare species at risk - REC watershedsBiodiversity - Hochstetter's Frog habitatThese datasets identify freshwater segments where a threatened or rare water dependent species had been identified, and likely Hochstetter’s frog (Eastern Raukumara, Western Raukumara and Kaimai varieties, At Risk – Declining) habitats.Biodiversity - Rare species at risk - REC watershedsThere are two fields in this dataset: Threatened species observed (ThreatSp) and Other conservation species observed (ConsSp).Where Threatened species observed = 'Yes'A species is categorised as Threatened if it is listed as such in the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). The threatened category includes species listed as Nationally Critical, Nationally Endangered or Nationally Vulnerable.Where Other conservation species observed = 'Yes'Species of conservation interest are those listed within the NZTCS as At Risk or Data Deficient and species considered rare within the Bay of Plenty.Note: The REC watersheds identified shows where the freshwater-dependent conservation species had been recorded; this does not exclude their presence in other localities.Ahikā Consulting Report 2021The 2021 Ahikā Consulting Report compiled a dataset based on observation records, excluding fish and invertebrate speciesThis dataset was derived from 23 sources, including Auckland Museum collections, BOPRC EPT, BOPRC Key Biodiversity Flora Sites, BoPRC Marsh Bird, CHR Allan Herbarium, DoC databases, eBird, iNaturalist, MBIS Marine Fauna and Flora observations around New Zealand, MPI Protected species bycatch in New Zealand fisheries, National Vegetation Survey, NERMN, NIWA Invertebrate Type Collection, NIWA Freshwater Fish Database, and NZ Arthropod Collection. Permission for data usage was granted through Creative Commons or obtained from hosting organisations.While this dataset cannot be shared directly, it serves as a foundation for identifying water bodies that support threatened or rare freshwater-dependent species. Each location of a freshwater-dependent species was assigned to the underlying River Catchment Unit and River Environment Classification (REC) Hydro Unit. The REC hydro unit (watershed) were used as the basis for aggregated mapping as they offered fine-scale detail throughout the region.We noted these data presented a gap in frogs records, as it was not one of the targeted taxonomic groups in the 23 data sources. Hence only two observations out of 28,830 were recorded from the above sources. Therefore, other credible sources were sought to fill that gap.The Rare species at risk - REC watersheds dataset represents areas of threatened and rare flora and fauna species habitats by REC watershed and indicates that either Threatened, Other conservation species or both are present within the watershed.The Rare species at risk dataset represents these areas as the waterbodies themselves selected from riverlines, river polygons, lakes and wetlands from the Topo 50 river and lakes datasets and from BOPRC's wetland extents, showing habitat of threatened and rare freshwater dependent flora and fauna (excluding fish).For more information on this processes see: Mapping threatened and rare freshwater-dependednt flora and fauna within the Bay of Plenty Region - December 2021 - Ahika ConsultingOriginal REC data here: Heather
