Wildlife Corridors in India: Latest List 2024
A wildlife corridor, also known as a habitat corridor or green corridor, is a stretch of natural habitat that connects different populations of wildlife that have been separated by human activities like roads, buildings, or logging. These corridors allow animals to move between populations, which helps prevent problems like inbreeding and low genetic diversity, which can happen when animal groups are isolated.
Corridors also make it easier for populations to recover after events like fires or disease outbreaks by allowing individuals to migrate and establish new groups. Let us learn more!
