    • wildlife collision data and associated factors
    • necessary implementation so corridors last for a long time
    • decreased efficiency (more roadkill) in corridors when infrastructure was old

    • This article will help me add information on the following specific topics:
    • climate change related challenges for corridors
    • china and biodiversity figures
    • China policy on conservation and standards
    • How to identify key areas that should be prioritized for conservation, natural resources, rivers, habitats, ect

  • Follows a important Florida corridor connecting two national parks, important for panthers, bears, and other mammals. Public activism and policy are discussed and commented on by DNR officer and a Professor. Provides policy reaction and public works needed to conserve areas of land.
    • This article will help me add information on the following specific topics:
    • Florida conservation policy
    • public reaction and interactions
    • failed policy in Florida
    • importance of establishing a figure head for a conservation movement, Florida bears and Panthers easy animal for people to like and wanna support. Other animals get through with their support example types frogs, and bugs
    • Trump failures and policy influences
    • Biden policy changes and new implementations

Potential Changes

1. These aren't a design regulated or required by any legislator, maybe areas that have had political discussion about these spaces.
2. This article doesn't have any studies or examples of these helping population movement, could be a potential spot to add something.

  • This is a news article from the Guardian which is a popular and seemingly reliable news provider but might not be the best source. The article goes over an example that talks about how a wildlife corridor installation could increase the survival and help maintain a healthy Florida panther population in southwest Florida.

  • This source is a news article that seems like a reliable source. It goes over the positive impacts of a potential bill on indigenous tribes and wildlife communities. It briefly talks about why wildlife management and conservation has been difficult for these communities and highlights how the bill will help create stronger wildlife corridors in the proposed area.

This article is a scientific peer reviewed article that should be a reliable source. It mainly goes over the use of genomics when deciding what type of wildlife corridor should be used depending on how quickly the targeted wildlife populations travel between connected habitat.

Outline of proposed changes

• Nothing in the article should be deleted although I may add to the monitoring use section as it is relatively short compared to the other sections of the article and there are multiple types of surveys that are conducted aside from just mark-recapture surveys to asses wildlife populations.
• I plan to add the topics of indigenous tribes and their relation to wildlife corridors as many tribes still use and rely on their hunting and fishing rights in order to feed their communities and keep their culture alive. This is something the current article is lacking so there is already a large content gap in relation this.
• In the design section I plan to add more information on the effort it takes when conservation scientists, biologists, ecologists, etc. are trying to create efficient long-term wildlife corridors. Wildlife corridors can be more complex than expected and I want to add some more information on the logistics and methodology of these corridors.
