Abstract:
The NH Wildlife Corridors is based on the NH Wildlife Connectivity Model, a basic, GIS-based, landscape permeability model that predicts broad-scale wildlife connectivity zones across the state. This analysis can identify both key areas for land protection efforts and strategic locations for restoring connectivity in currently fragmented landscapes. This dataset consists of three data layers 1.) Prioritized Habitat Blocks, 2.) Wildlife Corridors, and 3.) Wildlife Secondary Corridors.

Output is not actual locations of wildlife corridors, but a display of how a model of habitat suitability and movement behavior translates into patterns of landscape connectivity. It is strongly encouraged that users incorporate best available local data sources and ground-truth results of corridor analyses, which is essential for identifying critical connectivity zones.
