The goal of the of the California Desert Connectivity Project project was twofold:
1) To identify areas where maintenance or restoration of ecological connectivity is essential for conserving the unique biological diversity of California’s deserts
2) To produce implementable linkage designs and provide the necessary data and information to inform land management, land acquisition, restoration (e.g., habitat restoration and restoration of permeability across transportation barriers), and stewardship in connectivity zones. I
