There is much excellent literature on corridor design for various taxa. Good places to start might be
Machtans, C.S., M. Villard and S.J. Hannon. 1996. Use of riparian buffer strips as movement corridors by forest birds. Conservation Biology 10: 1366-1379. Naiman, R.J. and K.H. Rogers. 1997. Large animals and system-level characteristics in river corridors: Implications for river management. Bioscience 47: 521-529. Taylor, P.D., L. Fahrig, K. Henein and G. Merriam. 1993. Connectivity is a vital element of landscape structure. Oikos 68: 571-573.

She has now realized she needs to find some way of designing migration corridors based upon the steep topography in the park. Does anyone have some good sources of information that relate migration corridors with topography? Many thanks.
