South Coast Missing Linkages Project
South Coast Wildlands is working to maintain and restore connections between wildlands
in the South Coast Ecoregion through an effort called the South Coast Missing Linkages Project. This project
addresses fragmentation at a landscape scale. Our approach is to identify and prioritize linkages that
conserve essential biological and ecological processes. This project gathers
the most current biological data for each linkage design to ensure the viability of
the full complement of species native to the region. Our methods involve
partnering, gathering existing data, identifying impediments to and opportunities
for connectivity, and stimulating a collaborative effort for each important linkage.
It is our hope that the South Coast Missing Linkages effort will serve as a catalyst
for directing funds and attention toward the protection of ecological connectivity
for the South Coast Ecoregion and beyond.
