Experts' Perspectives on Connectivity

This past March, American Wildlands hosted a one-day workshop to begin engaging numerous partners in the implementation of our recently completed Priority Linkage Assessment. Speaking at the conference were a diverse and well-rounded set of experts who discussed the role and importance of habitat connectivity in their conservation efforts.
