wildlife corridors
Species migration pathways
Wildlife corridors are strips of habitat connecting separate natural areas, allowing animals to move between them for feeding, mating, or migration.
Without corridors, populations become isolated in habitat fragments, reducing genetic diversity and survival.
Conservation efforts increasingly focus on establishing and protecting these pathways: The highway overpass serves as a wildlife corridor for elk and deer.
