Mapping Habitat Connectivity for Wildlife

Event: The Modern Road Ecologist’s Toolbox

Mapping Habitat Connectivity for Wildlife

13 July 2021

The final module of the Modern Road Ecologist’s Toolbox webinar series demonstrated how wildlife occurrence data collected from camera traps, sign surveys and other sources are used to inform a Baseline Biodiversity Assessment (BBA) and inform next steps towards planning sustainable infrastructure that minimizes impacts on wildlife and ecosystems. There were practical examples on ways to collect, visualize and analyze these data using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) including Maxent and Circuitscape. The webinar also highlighted the Foresight study on Reimagining the Future of Transport across Asia and the Pacific. This is the most technical webinar of the series covering tools that require some ability to understand spatial statistics and analysis. The exercises on the webinar hub are also available to practice and apply these tools.
