Descriptive nameWildlife Connectivity Assessment: Detailed Linkages (AGFD/Cnties 2012-2013)
File namelink_rta
Spatial domainArizona
AbstractAs part of a series of 2012 or 2013 reports prepared by AZGFD for Pima, Coconino or Maricopa (forthcoming) Counties, stakeholders and partners highlighted eight linkage planning areas (corridors) where wildlife connectivity is of particular importance to conserve, and that would benefit from a more detailed conservation plan which addresses wildlife permeability issues. These were areas previously not modeled in the Arizona Missing Linkages. Linkage designs were created based on methodology from Arizona Missing Linkages 2007 and 2008 reports to AZGFD, available at www.corridordesign.org.

In Pima County, AZGFD worked with the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and largely followed the Critical Landscape Connections broadly-defined in Pima County’s Conservation Lands System, as part of the county’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.
