biological value, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration
potential, and ecological quality;
5. To protect present conservation lands by acquiring, protecting and managing adjacent
properties which, if not acquired,would threaten the environmental integrity of the existing
resource, or which, if acquired, would enhance and buffer the environmental integrity of
the resource, and add to resource connectivity;
6. To restore the natural functions, as necessary, to any impacted and vulnerable habitats
