Modified landscapes with natural habitat character

Brief description

This dataset indicates those modified landscapes that maintain habitat features that are critical to the conservation of biodiversity but do not get recognised (or mapped) as habitat or native vegetation. These are typically substantially modified farming landscapes where existing land uses and significant environmental values co-exist in a way that provides mutual benefits. The generally open and undeveloped nature of these landscapes should be maintained through appropriate zoning to support continuation of the primary production systems that create environmental niches for target species.
