The GNLCC issued a Connectivity Pilot Project Preliminary Report in 2015. Page 12 specifically lists Hwy 87 and US 20 "corridors", meaning transportation, for mitigation activity, meaning wildlife, as a short term strategy by the High Divide from the GYE to Idaho. The long term strategy aimed to "conserve private lands and connect public lands". In addition, the long term strategy included annexing the Henry's Fork and Island Park from the GBLCC to the GNLCC to "protect connectivity for multiple species". Rob Ament, Renee Seidler, Gregg Servheen, Gary Tabor, and Michael Whitfield were all participants in this project. Initially meeting in 2014, the Steering Committee "...selected connectivity as a priority shared landscape objective...to support this Ecological Connectivity Prioritization Pilot Project". Henry's Fork and Island Park were identified in the crosshairs by these individuals for their agenda.
