The right to roam:
A STRATEGY TO RECONNECT A CONTINENTAL WILDLIFE PATHWAY IN THE FRONTENAC ARCH
LAUNCHING OCTOBER 2024
The Algonquin to Adirondacks (A2A) region is a critical wildlife corridor, forming a key link in the Eastern Wildway, which stretches from Georgia to the boreal forests of Canada. As one of the last large-scale, intact forest and wetland linkages in Eastern North America, it provides the best-remaining potential for wildlife movement across the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system.
However, this vital corridor is under threat from major roadways and climate change, leading to significant wildlife mortality and fragmented habitats. Our upcoming "Right to Roam" report will address these challenges head-on, presenting a bold strategy to restore connectivity, reduce roadkill, and improve motorist safety on 3 major roadways: County Road 2, Highway 401, and the Thousand Islands Parkway
What to Expect:

What to Expect:
- Understanding the impacts of roads on wildlife and connectivity
- In-depth analysis of priority wildlife pathways in the A2A region
- Highlights from previous road ecology studies
- Case studies of successful mitigation measures for reducing roadkill and improving connectivity
- Strategic recommendations for mitigation measures, including wildlife crossings
