Ecological corridors are natural pathways that connect different habitats, allowing wildlife to move freely between them. These corridors help maintain biodiversity by enabling animals and plants to find food, mates, and new territories. They are especially important in fragmented landscapes where urban development or agriculture has separated ecosystems. By facilitating movement, ecological corridors also support the resilience of species against climate change and habitat loss. They can include various features such as rivers, forests, and grasslands, and are often designed to protect endangered species and promote healthy ecosystems.
