Abstract: Guidelines for protecting and managing identified wildlands in the Sierra Nevada are included in this document to assist conservation practitioners and resource managers in the maintenance of vital wildlands and wildlife. These guidelines recommend limiting habitat fragmentation by controlling road density and habitat loss in wildlands. This will directly benefit wildlife species and maintain the health of ecosystems. Other guidelines recommend the establishment of conservation easements, wildlife friendly zoning ordinances, and wildlife under-and over-passes where roads prohibit movement. These guidelines will become more specific through the site planning process, which will be encouraged at the local scale.
