The specific objectives were to: 1) Map the land cover of North Carolina 2) Map the predicted distributions of terrestrial vertebrates that use habitat in the state during the breeding season 3) Map the network of conservation lands in the state (land management stewardship) 4) Assess the conservation status of both the terrestrial vertebrates and the natural vegetative communities of the state 5) Provide that information to natural resource agencies so they can use it in their conservation planning efforts
