Description: This linkage connects the Rincon-Catalina Mtns to the north, the Santa Rita Mtns to the southwest, and the Whetstone Mtns to the southeast; all administered by the US Forest Service. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include Interstate-10 and urban growth.
' + 'Description: This linkage gives recommendations to maintain connectivity throughout the Tonto National Forest surrounding US-60 between the towns of Superior and Globe. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include the existing alignment and proposed realignments surrounding US-60 and urban growth.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects Ironwood Forest National Monument to the south, with the Picacho Mountains to the north, and the Durham-Coronado plains to the northeast; all administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include Interstate-10, the CAP canal, off-highway vehicle use, and urban growth.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects the southwestern Vulture and Harquahala Mtns with the northeastern Wickenburg Mtns and Hassayampa River. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include US-60, US-93, AZ-89, the proposed Wickenburg bypass, and expanding urban development in and surruounding the town of Wickenburg.
' + 'Description: This linkage gives recommendations to maintain connectivity throughout the BLM-administered lands surrounding US-93 between the town of Wickenburg and the Santa Maria River. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include US-93 and urban growth surrounding Wickenburg.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects the Peacock Mtns to the north, the Hualapai to the southwest, and the Aquarius Mtns to the southeast; all administered by the BLM. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include Interstate-40 and urban growth.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects the Tumacacori Mtns to the southwest with the Santa Rita Mtns to the northeast; both administered by the US Forest Service. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include Interstate-19 and urban growth.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects the Black Hills to the west with a large number of wilderness areas to the east; both wildland blocks are adminstered by the US Forest Service. Significant threats to habitat connectivity in this linkage zone include the State Highway 260, State Highway 89a, and expanding urban developments near Cottonwood, Clarkdale, and Camp Verde.
' + 'Description: This north-south linkage is designed to maintain connectivity for BLM lands in the Black Hills of northwestern Arizona in the face of increasing traffic on State Route 68 and potential urbanization of lands near the highway.
' + 'Description: This north-south linkage connects the Hualapai Mountains to the Cerbat Mountains; the main threats to connectivity are urbanization west of Kingman and Interstate 40, railroads, and other roads.
' + 'Description: This east-west linkage connects wildlands in and near the Bradshaw Mountains (Prescott National Forest and BLM land) to Agua Fira National Monument and the adjacent Tonto National Forest. Proposed widening and realignment of Interstate 17 between Cordes Junction and New River is the main threat to connectivity.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects the two major halves of the Prescott National Forest, which are separated by a broad swath of grasslands and the growing cities of Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley. Urbanization, road building, and road expansion are the main threats to connectivity.
' + 'Description: This design includes two east-west linkages involving Sonoran Desert National Monument (SDNM). The linkage between SDNM to the Gila Bend Mountains (BLM Wilderness Area) is threatened by State Route 85, two major canals, and intensive agriculture. The linkage between SDNM and the Sierra Estrella (Regional Park, BLM land, and Gila River Reservation) is threatened by massive urban development and annexation by the city of Goodyear.
' + 'Description: This design includes two linkages involving the Tortolita Mountains, an expanding regional park in Pima and Pinal Counties. The linkage from the Tortolitas south to the Tucson Mountains (Saguaro NP West) is threatened by urbanization and annexation in the city of Marana and I-10 and other roads and railroads. The linkage from the Tortolitas east to the Santa Catalina Mountains (Coronado National Forest, Catalina State Park) is threatened by urbanization in Oro Valley, SR-77 and other roads.
' + 'Description: This design includes two linkage involving the Pinaleño Mountains (Coronado National Forest). One linkage connects from the Pinaleños westward to the Galiuros (another part of Coronado National Forest), where the main threat to connectivity is a proposed highway which would unleash massive urban development. The other linkage connects the Pinaleños southward to the BLM-owned Dos Cabezas Mountains, where the main threats are Interstate-10, several other highways, and potential urbanization near the city of Willcox.
' + 'Description: This linkage connects two parts of the Coronado National Forest, namely the Santa Rita Mountains to the northwest to the Patagonia Mountains to the southeast, and provides connectivity from both forests to the perennial Sonoita Creek. The main threats to connectivity are urbanization along State Route 82 and the towns of Patagonia and Sonoita, and potential highway expansion.
