Mapping
Connectivity mapping is a key component to protection of ecological connectivity and the A2A collaborative completed a connectivity analysis of the A2A region in 2014 for use in projects and partner work.  The report describing the work is available here and the resulting GIS layers can be accessed by contacting the A2A.
