Multi-criteria and Least Cost Path Analysis for Grizzly Bear Movement Corridors
The study identified and analyzed potential movement corridors, and examined potential locations for an animal overpass for grizzly bears in Jasper, Alberta, using multi-criteria and least-cost path analysis.
By integrating habitat suitability factors such as land cover, elevation, and human proximity, the analysis highlighted routes that facilitate safe and efficient movement for grizzly bears while minimizing conflicts with human infrastructure.
