We now provide a suite of Linkage Mapper Services — each scoped to your data, timeline, and decision needs. Every engagement is custom. We can support you in many ways:
🧭 Project Review
- Independently assessing your core areas, resistance surfaces, methods, and results
- Highlights the most robust findings
- Flags uncertainty hotspots and data gaps
Private by default
🔧 Improvement Menu
- Suggesting potential model upgrades with effort vs. benefit estimates
- Implementing the improvements or coaching your team through the new analyses
🌐 Online Maps & Outreach
- Sharing public web maps via free hosting
- Hosting and maintaining web maps and galleries
- Coaching your team to do any or all of these tasks
🧩 Corridor Validation & Monitoring
- Testing linkages with independent datasets (best attainable)
- Co-developing plans for ground-truthing
- Monitoring with camera traps, and/or remote sensing
- Developing feedback loops, so incoming datasets then improve models
🎓 Team Training & Mentoring
- Offering targeted sessions on resistance surface modeling
- Developing and teaching or implementing QA/QC for inputs and outputs
- Providing templates, checklists, and reproducible workflows
🗺️ Portfolio Synthesis
- Reconciling multiple studies into one clear narrative
- Deciding what to trust now and what to fix next
🔄 Conventional Linkage Mapper Modeling
- Conducting standard core–resistance–linkage workflow
- Cleaning inputs, calibrating resistance, conducting reproducible runs
- Following best practices, stating assumptions, and producing decision-ready maps
We implement or coach your team to do the work
🌿 Synoptic Connectivity Modeling
- Performing a novel, multi-species approach that results in a single map that reflects connectivity needs for many focal species
- Organizing stakeholder engagement to co-develop the models for clarity and collaborative action
📦 Deliverables
- Producing decision-ready layers and maps
- Sharing iterative versions of methods, write-ups, and board-ready slides
🤝 Grant Support & Partnerships
- Developing sharper scopes, budgets, and timelines
You can propose LinkageMapper.org to be the lead NGO or we can be added as subcontractors
⚙️ How We Work
- Beginning with a short scoping call and data check
- Offering an À la carte or packaged menu with clear pricing and ownership
