Arizona's Wildlife Linkages Biologists, engineers, planners and land managers from nine public agencies have worked together since 2004 to identify large blocks of protected habitat, the potential wildlife movement corridors through and between them, the factors that could possibly disrupt these linkage zones and opportunities for conservation. Recognizing that habitat connectivity is a landscape issue involving multiple land jurisdictions, this workgroup has engaged in unprecedented cooperation and facilitated discussions and partnerships to help ensure a unified approach to wildlife linkage conservation and management. This reinforces the commitment to and efficiency of wildlife connectivity measures undertaken by all stakeholders, using...

Their unique biogeographical setting and the ecological gradients associated with “Sky Island mountains” add tremendous floral and faunal diversity to these grasslands and the region as a whole. Sky Island grasslands have undergone dramatic vegetation changes over the last 130 years including encroachment by shrubs, loss of perennial grass cover and spread of non-native species. Changes in grassland composition and structure have not occurred uniformly across the region and they are dynamic and ongoing. In 2009, The National Fish...

They highlight and map areas of high ecological value, including important wildlife habitats and corridors, and gauge their potential risks from climate change, wildfires, invasive species, energy development, and urban growth. REAs also map areas that have high energy development potential, and relatively low ecological value, which could be best-suited for siting future energy development. In addition, REAs establish landscape-scale baseline ecological data to gauge the effect and effectiveness of future management actions. The Sonoran Desert REA was initiated in July 2010.

This large binational area, comprised by a total of eleven protected areas in Texas, Coahuila, and Chihuahua, offers a unique opportunity for conservation because of its isolation from human settlements and the unfragmented nature of its landscape. Connectivity of habitats in these borderlands is essential to maintain and restore biodiversity, particularly in the face of a changing climate.

Sin embargo, en México como en muchos otros países, las primeras áreas protegidas que se decretaron con base en criterios estéticos, recreativos y de oportunidad. Actualmente, considerando que uno de los principales objetivos de estas áreas es la protección de la biodiversidad, es necesario revisar su funcionamiento, conectividad y representatividad, ya que aunque la red de áreas protegidas ha crecido en los últimos años y han aumentado las capacidades de gestión de las mismas, la pérdida de la diversidad biológica continúa.

SGCN include terrestrial, freshwater, and marine birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, fishes, plants and plant communities. The goal of the plan is ultimately to conserve and improve the status of these species and, as possible, prevent listings under the Endangered Species Act. The Conservation Action Plan has elements for anyone interested in conservation in Texas.

The overall goal is not only to help in making more sustainable the productive activities related to grasslands, but also to maintain and/or to restore their capacity to provide the environmental services vital to the Chihuahuan society (e.g., aquifer recharge, carbon sequestration and biodiversity). This document represents a first collaborative effort at a State level among producers, researchers and students all with the same goal: to care, to restore and sustainably use grasslands.

It is also essential for effective early detection. Knowing where a plant currently grows is the foundation for knowing where to survey for new occurrences. Cal-IPC supports a range of mapping tools for natural resource managers in California, including CalWeedMapper, WHIPPET and Calflora (described below). These tools work together. Data submitted to the Calflora occurrence database provide a foundation for CalWeedMapper (for setting regional priorities) and WHIPPET (for setting population-level priorities).

This data set is a composite or simplification of the source data sets -- the boundaries of all source records have been combined ("dissolved") into one composite record in order to facilitate analysis. Note: We did not integrate wildlife linkages data from 2 of the studies in this composite layer because we were not able to obtain permission to do so from the source agencies.

Planning and actions to recover species that have become endangered are controversial and expensive. Annual spending on listed species in the United States has increased more than six fold over the past 10 years, to a level of over $600 million a year.

The vast scale of renewable energy developments proposed in the California deserts are likely to impact habitat connectivity, alter essential ecosystem functions, and eliminate opportunities for species to shift their ranges in response to climate change. The potential impacts of energy development on our existing public lands, specifically to wildlife and their ability to move across the landscape, are enormous. The primary goal of...
