Wildlife Connectivity and Climate

Planning for wildlife connectivity in the face of climate change should be conducted with the goal of maintaining or restoring ecosystem resilience. See the resources below to help with addressing wildlife movement in the face of the climate crisis.

Place Wildlife Crossing Structures In Natural Features

River Drainages Are Natural Features to Place Wildlife Crossing Structures

In Canada’s Yoho National Park, wildlife ecologist T. Kinley mapped where several river drainages converged across the Trans Canada Highway to locate where wildlife crossing structures would best facilitate wildlife movement north and south of the highway. These lines of river systems are combined with known locations of mountain goat activity along the highway. See more in our report link below. Check out “Ecological Data” Section.
