Habitat Corridors

Habitat corridors reconnect fragmented habitat. This boosts species long-term survival prospects by providing access to more resources and potential mates. Corridors are particularly important for migratory pollinators such as monarchs and hummingbirds as they require suitable habitat throughout their entire migratory range. While it is ideal for habitat corridors to be continuous (structural connectivity), patches of disconnected habitat in close proximity to one another are effective as well (functional connectivity).
