7 MAPPING GOALS/OBJECTIVES Identify and characterize habitat core and corridors that are critical for the long-term viability of terrestrial wildlife populations. The identified corridors are ones that: Provide live-in and move-through habitat [Serve to reconnect existing protected areas] Enable species to meet basic daily and seasonal biological requirements (e.g. finding food, mates, cover) Provide for dispersal and recolonization of populations Enable redistribution of populations in response to current and future ecosystem threats Restore or retain genetic exchange among populations Consider connectivity across the state border
8 GUIDANCE DOCUMENT GOALS/OBJECTIVES A document to assist agencies involved in land-use planning, transportation planning, land management, and conservation with restoring and maintaining a connected landscape, as identified by associated mapping of habitat cores and corridors, for terrestrial wildlife in New Jersey. The document will recommend actions and measures needed to establish effective corridors including: Land protection Land management Mitigating the impacts of roads The document will integrate resilience planning and recommend hazard mitigation actions in areas at risk of flooding and other natural hazards. Consideration will be given to potential adverse impacts of increased connectivity. The document will emphasize cost-efficient practices. The document language will cater to a professional audience.
9 COMMUNICATION GOALS/OBJECTIVES Goals Statement / The main objectives of the Communications Team are: to facilitate internal communication among the NJHCP Core Teams (Communications, Mapping, and Guidance Document) and membership; to create outreach products and media that engage stakeholders and guide implementation of the NJHCP; and to support the development of and the long-term, on-the-ground objectives of the NJHCP by securing grants, partnerships, and recognition well beyond the planning stage.
10 PROJECT GOALS/OBJECTIVES A strategic plan promoting the long-term viability of terrestrial wildlife populations in New Jersey through a science-based, collaborative approach. The plan consists of two tools that identify and recommend opportunities and priorities to conserve and restore habitat connectivity. : A GIS-based map that identifies and characterizes critical habitat core and corridors. A guidance document that recommends conservation actions in areas identified by associated mapping of habitat cores and corridors.
