This dataset represents Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) linkage areas for
Idaho, Montana, and portions of Utah and Wyoming. Linkage areas were
identified by a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Forest Service,
Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in
August 2000. The data are represented at a scale of 1:100,000. The
linkage areas are described in more detail in: Claar JJ, Bertram T,
Naney R, Warren N and Ruediger W. 2004. Wildlife linkage areas: an
integrated approach for Canada lynx. IN: Proceedings of the 2003
