conservation corridors

Conservation corridors are stretches of natural habitat that connect protected areas, allowing plants and animals to move safely between them. They help maintain healthy ecosystems by enabling species to find food, breed, and adapt to changing environments. These corridors reduce the risk of population decline and extinction by promoting genetic diversity and resilience. Think of them as ecological highways that support biodiversity and ecosystem stability, especially important in areas where human development fragments natural habitats. Effective conservation corridors are planned to balance environmental and human needs, ensuring long-term sustainability of wildlife and plant populations.
