Purpose: To collaborate with the urban development sector core planning team on the definitions of our target definitions outside of workshops. All core planning team members are encouraged to participate in editing, refining, and providing examples for the definitions and raising questions in the discussion tab. It is important to remember that we're thinking of these targets in terms of our overall scope, which is in urban and urbanizing areas. The fine filter targets may not need to be explicitly defined as they are quite specific, but feel free to add examples or other details.
Targets:
Coarse filter
1. Forests
Trees, forests, greenspace and related abiotic, biotic and cultural components in areas extending from the urban core to the urban-rural fringe that are impacted by urban development (source).
2. Open natural habitats
Includes grasslands, shrublands, wildflower meadows, etc. that are impacted by urban development.
3. Freshwater systems and their riparian areas and coastlines
Includes lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, riparian habitats, and coastlines along the Great Lakes that are impacted by urban development.
4. Marine coastlines
A marine ecosystem where land meets with the ocean, including intertidal zones, rocky shores and sandy beaches that are impacted by urban development.
Fine filter
5. Avian fauna
Birds, including migratory bird species, that are listed under SARA or are otherwise of special concern due to urban development pressures.
6. Herpetofauna
Amphibians and reptiles that are listed under SARA or are otherwise of special concern due to urban development pressures.
7. Pollinators
Species that transfer pollen from one flower to another that are listed under SARA or are otherwise of special concern due to urban development pressures.
