Hawaiian Natural Resources Monitoring Database USFWS (E/T status) info & updated master species list

The Honolulu office of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) now* maintains the "master list" of species names & taxon codes for the Monitoring Database (*based mainly on Bishop Museum's information, but USFWS is able to provide updated information to us more quickly and in a better format than is Bishop Museum). In addition, USFWS provides Monitoring Database users with updated yet *UNOFFICIAL* federal status (endangered/threatened/etc.) information for plants in Hawaii.

Through special arrangements with USFWS, HEAR now has available online:

• Updated master data files for species names, taxon codes, and federal endangered/threatened species status   (current as of 30NOV1999)

• Descriptions of online master data files (RE: the files mentioned above; this text follows below)

• Descriptions of online master data fields 

Description of online master data files

(**A file with the extension ".DB" is the main file of a Paradox for Windows table; a file with the extension ".DBF" is the main file of a dBase table. Files with extensions other than .DB or .DBF are required files which, along with the appropriate .DB/.DBF file, comprise the Paradox or dBase table [i.e. a table can have more than one file implicitly associated with it]; DO NOT DELETE THESE FILES unless you absolutely know what you're doing!)
