<speciesfyi-glossary slug="corridor"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
A strip of habitat connecting isolated patches, enabling wildlife movement and maintaining gene flow between populations.
Detailed Explanation
Corridors are increasingly vital as climate change forces species to shift their ranges poleward or to higher elevations. Without connected habitat, species cannot track suitable conditions. The Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) initiative aims to maintain a 3,200-km corridor for large carnivores across North America. Even small corridors like highway underpasses and overpasses significantly reduce wildlife road mortality.
