Fragmentation and loss of habitat due to anthropogenic causes is a recurring issue in areas with high biodiversity. These are mainly caused by deforestation and change of land use to give rise to agriculture, livestock, aquaculture, urbanization, among others.
The isolation of habitats by fragmentation directly influences wildlife populations and communities in the landscape. The direct effects on wildlife are the loss of species in the landscape, changes in wildlife composition and changes in ecological processes.
The identification of connectivity corridors for species, communities and ecological processes are key elements for the conservation of nature in landscapes modified by humans. The conservation of species requires territories where connectivity between ecosystems is maintained and species can move between suitable habitats for food, reproduction and shelter.
Therefore, we seek to implement conservation strategies and actions that promote habitat connectivity for the benefit of the species. We look for corridors that allow genetic flow and support the high diversity, dispersion and migration of species.
