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.
