Least cost path wildlife corridors

Identify the current locations of important wildlife habitats in the study area, such as parks, green spaces, and natural areas. Identify the current barriers to wildlife movement, such as roads, railways, and other infrastructure. Identify potential corridors that could be used by wildlife to move between habitats, such as the edges of railways and roads, the ends of public gardens, and parts of parks. Evaluate the feasibility of using each potential corridor for wildlife movement, taking into account factors such as the potential impact on human uses of the area, the potential for conflicts with other land uses, and the potential for habitat degradation or loss. Use GIS software to create a map showing the proposed improvements to the urban wildlife corridors, including any modifications that may be needed to make the corridors more usable by wildlife (e.g. the installation of wildlife crossings or fencing). Consult with relevant stakeholders, such as local governments, community groups, and environmental organizations, to solicit feedback on the proposed improvements and incorporate any necessary revisions.
