Biological corridor
Background from Wikipedia A wildlife corridor is the joining of fragmented habitats. This helps to increase the gene flows between the individual habitats which improves the fitness of species. Wildlife corridors are created as a means of conservation or general improvement of the environment. Wildlife corridors are susceptible to the edge effect, that is that certain species do not prosper near the edges of an ecosystem. Wildlife corridors sometimes cause controversy if they affect or inconvienence the human population.
