migratory route
Animal travel corridor
A migratory route is the regular path animals follow when traveling between seasonal habitats.
Birds, whales, caribou, and other species use established routes generation after generation, often covering thousands of miles: The Pacific Flyway is a major migratory route for waterfowl.
Conservation efforts frequently focus on protecting critical stopover points along these corridors.
