Essential Habitat Connectivity Areas Mokelumne and Tuolumne River Basins

GreenInfo Network

This map was created by the nonprofit GreenInfo Network to facilitate conservation planning among a variety of groups that work in California's Central Valley. It highlights remaining blocks of natural landscapes and the linkages between them.

Modeled by the California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project, the linkages are networks crucial for ecological movement as wildlife faces the pressures of development and climate change. A stipple was used to overlay the California Protected Lands Database layer on the map and to help identify landscapes/linkages not yet protected. Federal and state regulatory boundaries were added, allowing the groups involved in conservation planning to see which agencies have jurisdiction in the planning area.

GreenInfo Network uses GIS and related technologies to assist public interest groups in a broad range of environmental, social services, education, health, and community development projects.
