Where We Work

Wildlife Connectivity Research Related to Wildlife and Planning

It is important to scientifically locate areas where wildlife of all kinds need to move across the landscape and where those areas are in need of protection or restoration. We work on projects with state and federal agencies to locate and prioritize those areas, and incorporate the findings into transportation plans and other types of infrastructure planning, down to the county and local level.

Dr. Cramer of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute led the team that created New Mexico’s Wildlife Corridors Action Plan.

Dr. Cramer of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute led the team that created a US-Canadian manual on how to integrate wildlife mitigation into transportation procedures. This manual and additional reports demonstrate how to best plan for wildlife connectivity when planning for infrastructure.
