Abstract/Summary:
It is important that restoration and
protection efforts be undertaken in the most efficient and effective way possible because conservation budgets are often severely limited.
We address the question of where restoration should take place to efficiently reconnect habitat with a landscape-spanning corridor.
Building upon findings in percolation theory, we develop a shortest-path optimization methodology for assessing the minimum amount of
restoration needed to establish such corridors.
