Linkage Mapper uses GIS maps of core habitat areas and resistances to identify and map linkages between core areas. Each cell in a resistance map is attributed with a value reflecting the energetic cost, difficulty, or mortality risk of moving across that cell. Resistance values are typically determined by cell characteristics, such as land cover or housing density, combined with species-specific landscape resistance models. As animals move away from specific core areas, cost-weighted distance analyses produce maps of total movement resistance accumulated.The tool identifies adjacent (neighboring) core areas and create maps of least-cost corridors between them. It then mosaics the individual corridors to create...

This decision support tool provides spatially explicit information pertaining to modeled wildlife connectivity value across major roads, total wildlife mortality counts along major roads, carnivore mortality counts along major roads, the extent to which wildlife connectivity value and road mortality align, and potential priority sites for mitigation of road impacts on wildlife from diverse stakeholder perspectives. In the report accompanying this map document, we also discuss potential opportunities for diverse stakeholders (including departments of transportation, state and federal land managers, land trusts, citizen groups, and conservation organizations with a variety of missions) to engage in and contribute...
