green corridor
Wildlife migration strip
A green corridor is a strip of natural or semi-natural land connecting larger habitat areas, allowing wildlife to move between them without crossing developed zones.
Urban planners also use the term for linear parks or vegetated pathways through cities: The city created a green corridor along the abandoned rail line.
The concept addresses habitat fragmentation by maintaining ecological connectivity.
