This report examines the relationship between transportation networks and wildlife habitat in the Arizona Strip. A collaborative effort of the Grand Canyon Trust, Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, and the Wilderness Society, this detailed spatial analysis compare the BLM's inventoried transportation network with a proposed citizen's conservation alternative. Reviewing the ecological effects of the BLM proposal and the alternative on five species, the analysis show that the inventoried route network would severely degrade the quality of their habitat.
