To devise credible strategies for managing human-wildlife conflicts, managers need information about the importance of specific areas to particular species. In the Greater Yellowstone Area, for example, development of low-elevation areas seriously threatens vital ungulate winter ranges, with obvious implications for both ungulates and their predators. Although ungulate habitat-use patterns have been intensively studied in selected parts of this ecosystem, tools are needed to extrapolate this information in a way that facilitates landscape-level planning and impact assessment. This study overview includes a statement of the problem, objectives, methodology, communication plan, and highlights and key findings.
