migration corridor
Seasonal travel route
A migration corridor is a route or pathway that animals follow regularly when moving between seasonal habitats.
Birds, whales, and ungulates travel established corridors shaped by geography, food availability, and generational memory: The Yellowstone migration corridor stretches over 150 miles.
Conservation efforts often focus on protecting these corridors from development that would block animal movement.
