This report aims to clearly define habitat connectivity and highlight actionable strategies for integrating it into
local government planning. By incorporating habitat connectivity into policies, plans, and planning tools, local
governments can play a vital role in protecting natural systems and building healthier, more resilient communities,
now and for generations to come.

The document outlines the benefits of habitat connectivity for municipalities and counties, offers practical
recommendations for incorporating ecological connectivity into local government planning and implementation,
and provides examples of plans, policies, reports, case studies, and sample language from around the country that
demonstrate how connectivity can be addressed.

This report presents the findings from the 2022 Caroline Welsh Churchill Fellowship, undertaken to advance the capacity and impact of private land conservation in Australia. The Fellowship provided an opportunity to explore innovative conservation models, financing strategies, policy mechanisms, and collaboration frameworks across the United States and Canada, with the aim of applying these insights to strengthen conservation efforts in Australia.
