Our Connect2 tool enables you to assess the ecological connectivity of your territory for a range of wildlife species. Connectivity is the ability of a species to move around in order to meet its basic needs.
Through our projects, our Connect2 tool provides a diagnostic portrait of the elements and natural environments that contribute to ecological connectivity for a group of target species, classifies natural environments according to their priority for maintaining connectivity, and identifies priority areas to be conserved and/or restored to maintain or increase connectivity. The tool also estimates the change in connectivity according to different climate scenarios and future development of the territory.
Connect2 is a unique analytical calculation workflow for choosing methodologies, variables, predictive scenarios and indicators, and for combining them to establish robust conservation recommendations.
Our team is currently developing a new analytical framework "Rapid Evaluation of Multispecies Connectivity (REMC)" to facilitate the calculation of other connectivity indicators over large areas. The approach is unique in the way it calculates indicators for species with different movements and habitat requirements, over large territorial scales. This model makes it possible to assess a large territory in terms of its capacity to support populations of certain species and enable conservation targets to be met, such as the 30% target for protection of the territory by 2030. adopted in December 2022 at COP15.
