Wednesday, August 6th, 10-11am (Pacific) Managing for well-connected landscapes is a key strategy to enhance resilience and ensure the long-term viability of plant and animal populations. This project developed tools to provide land managers with sufficient information to prioritize and implement connectivity conservation actions. Analyses for this project addressed the following questions: Where along linkages is potential movement constrained? Are there areas that should be prioritized because alternative movement routes are not available? Given a network of core areas connected by corridors, which core areas and corridors are most important to maintaining overall network connectedness? Where in a linkage will restoration efforts (i.e., removal of barriers) have the greatest connectivity benefit? And where can alternate linkage pathways be created by restoration? This project additionally developed new approaches to map important connectivity areas that span climatic gradients for climate change adaptation. Meeting information Topic: The Washington Connected Landscapes Project Date: Wednesday, August 6th, 2014 Time: 10-11:00 am, (Pacific Time) Pre-registration is required; space is limited.
