What is the <strong>Rapid</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>?<br />
• GIS analysis compar<strong>in</strong>g Moderate Connectivity Model with<br />
five fac<strong>to</strong>rs that could potentially <strong>in</strong>hibit corridor function<br />
• Includes analyses <strong>of</strong> five <strong>in</strong>dividual fac<strong>to</strong>rs plus two<br />
syntheses <strong>of</strong> the five fac<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
• Identifies portions <strong>of</strong> regional wildlife corridors requir<strong>in</strong>g CCB<br />
