Abstract

A GAP Analysis to study the distribution of Squirrels in California.

Introduction


Here at California State University, Northridge we see squirrels on a daily basis. Squirrels are usually a trailing thought in our head and we never really focus our attention on them, unless they try to run away with our food. We see them as mere pests, but squirrels are a unique group of mammals that provide many niches for our ecosystem. 

This project is looking to help these interesting critters by looking for ways to close their habitat gaps. 
These species are starting to become dependent on humans and if we set aside lands for them we can help keep them wild and operating how nature intended them to be.
