Our Priority Linkage Assessments identify over 100 wildlife linkages throughout western Montana based on ecological value, threat level and conservation opportunity. Each linkage bridges the gap between larger core habitats and facilitates the movement of wildlife between them.
Our assessments are an important first step toward addressing on-the-ground threats to habitat connectivity. We are actively sharing this research with policy-makers and conservation partners for land use and transportation infrastructure planning. Ultimately, our goal is to protect these important linkages and help create a network of connected, protected core habitats extending from the Canadian border to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
