Purpose
Habitat corridors can be considered a management tool in areas where the destruction of a natural habitats has severely impacted native species, whether due to human development or natural disasters. When land is fragmented, wildlife populations may become unstable or isolated from larger populations.[1] These management tools are used by ecologists, biologists, indigenous tribes, and other concerned parties that oversee wildlife populations. Corridors help reconnect these fragmented populations and reduce negative population fluctuations by supporting these key aspects that stabilize populations[2]:
- Colonization: Animals can move and occupy new areas when food sources or other natural resources are scarce in their primary habitat.
- Migration: Species that relocate seasonally can do so more safely and effectively without interference from human development barriers.
- Interbreeding: Animals can find new mates in neighboring regions, increasing genetic diversity.
- Tribes: Indigenous groups use wildlife corridors as an effective management strategy to sustain their physical and spiritual needs.[3]
