Wildlife Connectivity Update for Arizona

All animals move across the landscape to varying extents in order to acquire the resources necessary for survival: food, water, protective cover, and mates and can roam over vast expanses that can encompass thousands of acres.  Barriers such as roads, urban areas, and railroads can affect each of these movement patterns and may pose a threat to the long-term persistence of wildlife populations   Maintaining a natural network of connected landscapes also benefits our human population, perhaps most obviously through increased public safety. Creating wildlife-friendly over- and underpasses can greatly reduce the likelihood of collisions. On this episode, we get an update from Jeff Gagnon on new projects in the works with AZGFD and partner organizations.     Learn more about   wildlife habitat and connectivity
