Wildlife Corridors

Wildlife corridors are connectors of 2 previously separated habitat areas which have been separated by roads, homes, or businesses. This helps support diverse genes so that inbreeding doesn’t occur or isolated animals can find a mate. 

Edge Effect

Roads cut through habitat dividing populations while also limiting the wildlife the ecosystem can support. Larger animals need larger swaths of wilderness to sustain their way of life. The new edges of this divided ecosystem are now populated by more small animals which live around the edges of forests. Wildlife corridors can help reconnect these divided habitats by creating welcome safe passage reconnecting the animal population and a more diverse habitat.
