Abstract

habitats have dramatically destructed the world wide. However a growing trend is emerging for restoring habitatats. One of the most effective approaches to revitalize them is to restore the conditions that have been lost. Studies indicate the high probability of the local extinction of Maral (Cervus elaphus Maral) in the current habitats of Gilan due to severe habitat destruction. The current study, therefore, aimed to introduce the application of habitat suitability and resistances surfaces, connectivity paths and corridors to analyze and monitor changes in habitats as the starting point for their reconstruction. Based on the results, 35% reduction in suitable habitats, 34% increase in the number of patches, 89% in edge density, and 53% reduction in the average size of patches, indicated that the occurrence of habitat loss and fragmentation had severely disrupted the integrity of Maral habitats. The increase in the cost-weight distance to the Euclidean distance ratio and land cover change of paths and corridors showed the rise of habitat resistance and the reduction of landscape permeability. Results, therefore, represented a clear picture of the changes in habitat suitability and connectivity of Maral which could play an effective role in the restoration process.
