The Oregon Connectivity Assessment and Mapping Project (OCAMP)

Principal Investigator:

Martin Lafrenz, Portland State University

Co-Investigators:

  • Catherine Rivera, Portland State University
  • Daniel Taylor-Rodriguez, Portland State University

Summary:

Wildlife everywhere faces a growing challenge: moving safely across an increasingly fragmented landscape. Roads, urban development, and other human-made barriers can make it harder for animals to access food, shelter, and breeding areas, while also increasing the risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions. To address this issue, researchers at Portland State University (PSU) worked on a groundbreaking ef... Wildlife everywhere faces a growing challenge: moving safely across an increasingly fragmented landscape. Roads, urban development, and other human-made barriers can make it harder for animals to access food, shelter, and breeding areas, while also increasing the risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions. To address this issue, researchers at Portland State University (PSU) worked on a groundbreaking effort to understand and protect the travel patterns of Oregon’s wildlife. The Oregon Connectivity Assessment and Mapping Project (OCAMP) was a multi-year collaboration aimed at mapping wild species' habitats and travel corridors across the state. The research team created an interactive Priority Wildlife Connectivity Areas Map of Oregon, which can be used to protect wild animals' ability to move from place to place. The project was funded in part by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), to help the agency identify and mitigate the impacts of transportation infrastructure on Oregon's wildlife. See More
