Fauna Corridors for North East NSW

Layer of regional and subregional linking corridors for fauna of the Upper North East (UNE) and Lower North East (LNE) NSW RFA regions. A new GIS program, NPWS CORRIDORS, was used to derive potential landscape linkages (habitat corridors) based on the predicted distributions of priority fauna species assemblages (see metadata for fauna key habitats). These ESRI grid outputs were refined, under a series of decision rules, to derive final corridor ESRI shapefile polygons. The final corridors map layer is a regional representation displaying the most likely occurrence of linking corridors for fauna consolidated at the regional scale. The mapping and derivation has been based on state-of-the-art data and GIS tools combined with qualitative interpretation based on ecological principles and expertise. As of April 2001, the mapping has not been formally field tested and the methods have not been peer-reviewed outside several conference and workshop presentations, all well received. A journal paper and project report are in preparation.
