Samara Group was hired by Portland State University to lead species selection and outreach & engagement efforts for the Oregon Connectivity Assessment & Mapping Project. This project is intended to advance priority conservation planning through understanding and mitigating barriers to wildlife movement in the state of Oregon. The project included connectivity assessment and mapping at fine resolutions across Oregon to fill knowledge gaps, extensive outreach to encourage a diverse group of partners to utilize and implement the results from the assessment, and communication of data and results that is easy to access, view, and understand. The results from the Oregon Connectivity Assessment and Mapping Project, including the Priority Wildlife Connectivity Areas (PWCA) Web Map is now publicly available here.
