question 70

Essay

Refer to the figures.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 4
You are working with a town to develop a conservation strategy for parks (tracts) of protected land in a suburban area (parks A-G). These seven areas are depicted in Figure 1. Each square in the grid indicates an area of 1 km².
- Refer to Figure 1 to familiarize yourself with the key aspects of the protected areas. Suppose you are the park manager in this area, and you have the option to build a limited number of habitat corridors to connect different parks to one another and reconnect the populations of birds that have been isolated from one another by the 1 km edge effect. However, your budget is limited. What is the minimum number of habitat corridors that would be required to reconnect the isolated populations of birds you (see Figure 4)? Where would you create these corridors, and why? On Figure 2, indicate the areas you would choose to create habitat corridors (this will be referred to as Figure 5).
