Ecological Connectivity

Ecological connectivity refers to the natural links between different ecosystems, allowing plants, animals, and ecological processes to move freely across landscapes. This connectivity is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, enabling species to migrate, find food, and reproduce. It helps populations survive environmental changes by allowing them to access new habitats. Factors like wildlife corridors, rivers, and unfragmented forests promote ecological connectivity, while human activities, such as urban development and roads, can disrupt it. Ensuring ecological connectivity is vital for the health of the environment and resilience against climate change.
