Corridor Ecology: The Science and Practice of Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation

Corridor Ecology is the study of natural pathways that connect different habitats, enabling plants and animals to move safely across landscapes. These corridors, such as strips of forest or grassland, help maintain biodiversity by allowing species to migrate, find food, reproduce, and adapt to environmental changes. Connecting fragmented habitats with corridors reduces the risk of species extinction, supports healthy ecosystems, and promotes resilience against threats like climate change and habitat loss. Overall, corridor ecology guides land-use decisions to create a more integrated and sustainable environment for all living things.
