Elk Reintroduction Feasibility Study
In conjunction with the Missouri Department of Conservation, MoRAP conducted an elk reintroduction feasibility study, which assessed both biological and socioeconomic issues.
MoRAP used land cover, roads, public land ownership, and other data layers to identify areas in the Missouri Ozarks where the re-introduction of elk might be possible. For more information on this project email Diane True at Diane_True@usgs.gov.
We used data provided by the Missouri Department of Conservation on vegetation and landscape characteristics to identify sites most appropriate for elk reintroduction in Missouri. MDC should be contacted for more information.
