terralink: Connectivity Corridor Optimization for Raster and Vector Data

Standalone R implementation of habitat connectivity corridor optimization for raster and vector workflows. Supports scenario-based planning with budget-constrained optimization, optional impassable areas, packaged parity fixtures, and comparative before-and-after connectivity metrics. The package exposes structural, movement-oriented, and species-oriented strategies in a reproducible workflow aligned with a companion GIS plugin while avoiding a desktop GIS dependency.
