Conservation Corridor

Global ecosystems are threatened by rapid expansion of linear infrastructure like roads. A new publication from @Largelandscapes & @World_Wildlife compiles 170+ resources to shortlist 10 best practices essential for supporting communities and biodiversity. worldwildlife.org/publications/i…

We may not know exactly who is in the deep ocean...🐠🐙🦑 ... but new research reveals that deep-sea ecosystems are more connected across oceans than shallow waters, meaning we need for conservation strategies that protect biodiversity at all depths: conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

We're helping spread the word about GECOT! 🧰⚒️ GECOT is an open-source connectivity tool from @CecilehAlbert & colleagues that can address cumulative effects between conservation actions and optimize connectivity planning: conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

Need another tool in your connectivity toolbox?🛠️ Check out Connecting Landscapes(CoLa) from @PatrickJantz & colleagues to help integrate habitat connectivity into land-use planning and development assessments: conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

Will the world's protected areas be enough to safeguard species from major biodiversity threats? New research shows 76% of highly threatened areas lack adequate protection. Read more in our latest digest: conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

Over the past 200 years, Iowa has lost 99 percent of its prairie land. Experts are calling for Iowa to focus on creating ecological corridors to reconnect isolated habitat and allow wildlife movement. thegazette.com/environment-na…

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in California just entered the final phase of construction. It will become the world's largest wildlife crossing and it will save mountain lions and other species from extinction while also protecting motorists. smdp.com/business/devel…

The relationship between #biodiversity and habitat #connectivity is complicated! 🌿 We highlight new research that shows woodland connectivity enhances biodiversity, especially in landscapes with low woodland cover. conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

The state of Montana passed two pieces of legislation this spring that will fund new wildlife crossings across the state. The Center's Kylie Paul praised the bills and the role they will play in reconnecting fragmented landscapes. mountainjournal.org/montana-passes…

New research advances efforts to protect marine species by identifying key migration sites and corridors. Learn more in our latest digest 🌊🌊🌊 @ExploreMiCO conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

How can we reduce road mortality and improve connectivity for wildlife? Read our newest digest to learn more about the strategy that reduced amphibian road mortality by 80%! conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

"connectivity is likely to be more impacted as ocean depth increases, meaning that species will be less likely to find suitable habitats under climate change at the greatest ocean depths" Read more in our latest digest... conservationcorridor.org/digests/climat…

Fences can restrict wildlife movement and block access to essentials like food and water. Wildlife-friendly fencing can alleviate some of the harshest consequences for wildlife. Read more: mountainjournal.org/wyoming-game-a…

Biodiversity leakage could compromise the efficacy of conservation projects like 30x30. New research breaks down how to confront this “leakage.” Learn more in our latest digest: conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

What's the optimal width for corridors? New research shows that "pinch points" may not effect corridor effectiveness for insects. Read more in our latest digest 🦋 conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

Habitat fragmentation affects even the smallest creatures! Learn more about edge effects and soil microorganisms in our newest digest 🦠🦠🦠 @clairecwinfrey conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

A recent survey found that 87% of U.S. respondents supported the idea of building new wildlife crossings. Wildlife crossings with fencing have been found to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by up to 97% when placed in areas of known animal movement. environmentamerica.org/resources/a-su…

Road underpasses can help wildlife avoid habitat fragmentation, but new research shows that #lightpollution may affect the benefits of road underpasses for wildlife. The good news... it's reversible! conservationcorridor.org/digests/2025/0…

New Mexico has set aside $50 million to build over- and underpasses for wildlife in the state. This is the largest amount a U.S. state has earmarked for this purpose. wildlife.org/new-mexico-put…
