Benefits of a Wildlife Corridor
Why are Wildlife Corridor's Important?
Wildlife Corridors are necessary to prolong species |
One of the greatest threats to wildlife populations is habitat fragmentation. Increasing human populations and the need for both agricultural and urban development is quickly destroying essential wildlife habitat. Wildlife corridors provide a balance between increasing human populations and the need to preserve and improve existing wildlife habitat while creating new habitat where it will most benefit wildlife populations. Corridors help increase survival for many species by; increasing food sources, providing valuable cover, decreasing the chance of predation, and by reconnecting fragmented and isolated populations.
