Basics
Wildlands Network and Pathways for Wildlife are conducting a wildlife connectivity study throughout the Tahoe Basin. Funded by the California Tahoe Conservancy, this multifaceted study will utilize GIS modeling, conduct an extensive camera survey, and collect roadkill data to identify where and how wildlife are moving throughout the Basin. By collecting this data, we will be able to understand where there are bottlenecks and barriers to movement and where land management enhancements can be made to improve wildlife connectivity. Ultimately, this study will inform land managers where there are critical areas for wildlife and potential locations for wildlife crossing infrastructure.

| Explanation | This project started in Fall of 2023 and has made significant progress in project setup and data collection, but the study is still in the early phases and has no measureable accomplishments to report. However, we have already begun valuable conversations with various agencies on potential locations for wildlife crossing infrastructure and are providing recommendations to improve permeability for wildlife in the South Basin. |

Threshold Categories
-
This project will identify roadkill hotspots and provide recommendations to reduce or eliminate wildlife-vehicle collisions.
-
This project will identify key wildlife corridors and barriers to movement around the basin. This data will inform management practices to enhance wildlife connectivity in the Basin and throughout the greater Lake Tahoe region.
