The Ranch Podcast: Wildlife Migrations in Idaho

Wildlife moves in remarkable ways across Idaho’s varied terrain. These patterns are influenced by many factors like development, habitat change, and data-driven conservation efforts. Migration corridors aren’t just romantic concepts: they’re essential lifelines that connect summer and winter ranges and help maintain healthy populations of elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and more. In this episode of The Ranch Podcast, Nick breaks down:

  • What migration corridors are, and why they matter statewide

  • Challenges to migration pathways, including pockets of development that cut across historic routes, and

  • Efforts underway in Idaho to map corridors and use science to protect critical movement areas
