An overview of Colorado’s Senate Bill 22-151, which will create the Colorado Wildlife Safe Passages Fund to invest $5 million in measures to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and reconnect habitat fragmented by roads. This includes projects identified in Colorado Department of Transportation’s 10-year pipeline of 25 projects with wildlife infrastructure components, as well as projects identified by the Colorado Wildlife & Transportation Alliance, state agencies, and county or tribal governments. The fund would also provide a much-needed source of matching funds to leverage myriad federal grant opportunities available in the new infrastructure law.

Landscape-level conservation that maintains biodiversity and livelihoods for local people requires long-term collaborations across local communities, scientists, practitioners and decision-makers. The Network for Conserving Central India (NCCI) provides a platform for such collaborations in a globally important tiger conservation region within a complex social-ecological system. Using the NCCI as an example, the study identifies indicators to track progress in collaborative landscape-level networks.

In 2021, representatives from Canadian and United States government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous Nations convened dialogues to discuss shared priorities regarding transboundary, ecological connectivity conservation. This article summarizes the resulting policy recommendations.

This report provides a summary of activities and events leading up to and including the Mojave Desert Tortoise Transportation Ecology Workshop held virtually March 22, 23, and 25, 2021.

This fact sheet explains habitat connectivity legislation Colorado, Senate Joint Resolution 21-021, which passed unanimously in 2021. This bipartisan-led legislation a) commissions report identifying wildlife corridors, their benefits, and voluntary policies and programs that would support willing landowners to improve habitat connectivity across the
landscape; b) encourages state agencies to build on Governor Jared Polis’ executive order on big game migration by collecting data on habitat connectivity for all native wildlife species; and c) establishes a working group to develop state policies to protect wildlife corridors.

ARC Solutions (a fiscally sponsored project of the Center) created this publication in Q&A format to answer the most common inquiries and misconceptions regarding wildlife-vehicle collisions and the proven success of wildlife crossing infrastructure in solving this ubiquitous problem.

This publication highlights the impacts that LTI has on Asian elephants and their habitats, addresses existing frameworks for reducing elephant-transport conflicts, provides seven case studies and a focus on emerging technologies, and makes general recommendations for inspiring urgent and practical actions. https://doi.org/10.53847/VYWN4174

The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) was established to assist those who manage native species, island ecosystems, and key cultural resources in adapting their management to climate change. Guided by a diverse steering committee of land/resource managers, the PICCC serviced a vast area across Hawaiʻi and the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands. This report presents key findings from evaluative research investigating PICCC’s achievements in the Hawaiian Islands.
