Software Tool Update
Linkage Mapper from Conservation Biology Institute
Linkage Mapper is open source software used to help analyze and map wildlife habitat corridors and prioritize conservation efforts within them. Version 3.0 has just been released. There are many new features in the release, including compatibility with ArcGIS Pro, back-end engineering and code refactoring, a python 3 update, and improved error messaging and log files. It also unveils and applies a new framework for climate-wise connectivity that allows the modelers to prioritize climate analog connectivity, range shift connectivity, or a balanced blend.
