Urban Wildlife Information Network

Corridor Transect

Created at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, UWIN is a partnership of researchers across the country and internationally who follow a set of wildlife-monitoring protocols to understand the ecology and behavior of urban wildlife species. Through these long-term data collection efforts and collaborations, we can better understand the ecology of wildlife in cities and what patterns hold true around the world. This knowledge is what we need to build smarter, greener cities that can be part of the solution to the biodiversity crisis.

AFC is partnering with the US Geological Survey and Occidental College to participate in this study.  We have placed over 20 cameras, supplied by USGS, along a 20-mile transect within our study area of the Hahamongna to Tujunga Wildlife Corridor (“Current transect in map below”).
