A habitat corridor is a designated area that connects isolated patches of habitat, allowing for the movement and migration of wildlife. These corridors are critical for maintaining genetic diversity and facilitating species movement in fragmented ecosystems. They enable animals to access resources such as food, mating sites, and shelter, which can enhance their survival chances. Habitat corridors also help mitigate the impact of climate change by providing species with routes to shift their ranges in response to changing environmental conditions. Conservation efforts often focus on creating and preserving these corridors to support ecosystem health.
