3.4 Intersection of core habitats and corridor path:
There was one core habitat that was shared by two species (Figure 6). 68.59% of the total extent of predicted core habitats included two species. Predicted connectivity for multiple species was high in the southern and central parts of the study area, which confirms the importance of these two parts of the area in providing habitats and corridors for both species (Figure 6). Around 33 percent (32.67 %) of corridors of both species were overlapped (Figure 6).
