STEP Megaconservancy Network (STEP_Megaconservancy_Network.shp)
STEP Megaconservancy Network. Megaconservancy networks of the thicket biome were designed to ensure the retention of key ecological and evolutionary processes, while considering implementation opportunities and constraints. Their boundaries were based on planning units (the internal planning unit boundaries have been dissolved). (See Cowling et al. 2003 for details)

Megaconservancy networks of the thicket biome were designed to ensure the retention of key ecological and evolutionary processes, while considering implementation opportunities and constraints. Their boundaries were based on
planning units (the internal planning unit boundaries have been dissolved). (See Cowling et al. 2003 for details)
