Request Data

The Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System (IFWIS) has site-specific information on observed locations of species with special conservation status.

All data requests follow a standardized process:

  • Upon submission, the relevant Technical Assistance Manager is notified based on the project area and description.
  • Our staff will then determine the most effective approach to fulfill your data request.
  • Staff may contact you to gain further insight into your project's goals and needs.

The data type and product you receive depend on the discretion of regional Technical Assistance Managers, and the speed of handling your request relies on staff availability. This typically can take 1 to 3 weeks to complete. Therefore, we kindly request your patience and understanding when submitting a data request.

Small Projects 

For a base cost of $200 we provide a GIS file geodatabase of biological layers around a project feature with up to a ten mile buffer.

$200

Large Projects 

For larger projects that span greater than 50% of a county's area we provide a GIS file geodatabase of biological layers around the project area with up to a ten-mile buffer as the base price ($200) + $300.

For projects that involve multiple counties, we combine both approaches and then select the lower amount.
