Entitled "Missing Linkages: Restoring Connectivity to the California Landscape" the workshop brought together over 200 land managers, conservationists, and biologists to discuss and map critical and at-risk habitat linkages throughout the state. A total of 232 linkages were identified statewide. Data was created to assist land managers, planners, scientists, regulators, and conservation organizations working on connectivity issues in California.

ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. ESRI Coordinates defining the features. MAP_ID Map identification number where first two characters determine ecoregion and the single digit or double digit numbers are the identifier for that corridor in that ecoregion. NAME Location name of the linkage area; may not be unique. ECOREGION For this exercise the state was divided into eight ecological units. Bay Area Central Coast Central Valley Modoc Mojave/Colorado North Coast North Coast South Coast TYPE Type of connectivity. Choke-Point Narrow, impacted, or otherwise tenuous habitat linkage connecting two or more core areas. Choke-points are essential to maintain landscape-level connectivity but are in danger of losing the connectivity function. Corridor See Landscape Linkage. Landscape Linkage Large, regional connections between core areas meant to facilitate animal movements and other essential flows between different sections of the landscape. Missing Link Highly impacted area currently providing limited to no connectivity function, but based on location, one that is critical to restore connectivity. Stepping Stones Non-contiguous areas of suitable habitat that constitute islands that facilitate dispersal between the stepping stones and which may greatly assist the process of creating a corridor or linkage. KEY_SPP Species used as connectivity indicators. BIRDS If the field contains "x", then at least one bird species used as a connectivity indicator is present in that linkage area. CARNIVORES If the field contains "x", then at least one carnivore species used as a connectivity indicator is present in that linkage area. FISH If the field contains "x", then at least one fish species used as a connectivity indicator is present in that linkage area. HERPS If the field contains "x", then at least one reptile or amphibian species used as a connectivity indicator is present in that linkage area.
