This raster layer represents priority area for protecting wildlife movement corridors.
Goal: Protect Wildlife HabitatCriteria: Protect wildlife movement corridorsWeight given to criteria in goal calculation: 30%Methodology:1. Cougar corridors from Meinke study given value of 52. Rivers buffered by 300 feet, given value of 53. AMAFCA drainage buffered by category so natural arroyo = 100ft; hard side channels = 300 ft; soft side channels = 200 ft. 4. Reclassify drainage so natural = 5; soft channel = 4, hard channel = 35. Combine all data with cell stats maxRaster Priority Value Key:0 = Not a Priority1 = Very Low Priority2 = Low Priority3 = Moderate Priority4 = High Priority5 = Very High PriorityAll areas with score of 3 or higher are considered places to consider land conservation action to preserve that resource. |
