Definition
Critical habitat is:[1]
- Specific areas within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of listing, if they contain physical or biological features essential to conservation, and those features may require special management considerations or protection
- Specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species if we determine that the area itself is essential for conservation
Notes
Critical habitat is a very specific thing and should be in capitals. This page should define CH and list CH designations in the region.
