Towards a Conservation Strategy

Y2Y commissioned Calgary-based biologist, Dr. Clayton Apps, to model and predict the impacts of cumulative human activities on connectivity for wildlife.

Page 44: Larry Peterson - University of Northern British Columbia · 2014-01-02 · Larry Peterson . Wendy Francis . Peace River Break Vision: The Peace River Break landscape is valued and

Research Method

• 6 focal species were selected to represent an array of regional ecosystem conditions, while also being sensitive to human impacts in different ways

• For each focal species, Dr. Apps evaluated the potential influence of present and future cumulative impacts on the underlying potential for landscape-level habitat effectiveness and connectivity at the population level
