HABITAT INSTITUTE
To make informed decisions concerning valuing nature, one must use a strong foundation that assess species-habitats functions.


As a trusted source for natural resource information and guided by the Institute’s mission, we strive to provide science-based informational tools to natural resource management staff and the public

The Habitat Institute believes that in order to have the ability to make informed decisions in regards to valuing nature we must first look through the eyes and lives of fish & wildlife.

The down wood in this video demonstrates one significant habitat element for multiple species within a Habitat. The Habitat Institute’s CHAP methodology captures this key habitat elements called an Key Environmental Correlates or KEC. These habitat elements (physical and biological) are thought to most influence a species distribution, abundance, fitness, and viability. KEC add value from the field inventory data for each polygon and measure habitat complexity.

Keep our habitats intact!










Maintaining the viability of a variety of habitats helps support a variety of species for the future.
