Urban wildlife corridors: Building bridges for wildlife and people

The role of green corridors for wildlife conservation in urban landscape: A literature review

Green corridors are an attempt to mitigate negative effects of the built environment of cities and towns. The corridors act as conservation for rapidly extreme intervention and development of the urban environment. Most importantly, it enables dispersal movement of animals within city areas. Issues relate to wildlife conservation in urban areas has been studied for many years and thus, the rese...

A graph theoretic approach for modelling wildlife corridors

Wildlife corridors are components of landscapes, which facilitate the movement of organisms and processes between areas of intact habitat, and thus provide landscape corridor. Corridors are thus regions within a given landscape that generally comprise native vegetation, and connect otherwise fragmented, disconnected, non-contiguous wildlife habitat patches in the landscape. The purpose of desig...

Economic Valuation of Riparian Corridors and Upland Wildlife Habitat in an Urban Watershed

A diverse range of problems caused by wildlife often creates controversy and calls for action to be taken by government wildlife agencies.

Structural connectivity at a national scale: Wildlife corridors in Tanzania

Wildlife corridors can help maintain landscape connectivity but novel methods must be developed to assess regional structural connectivity quickly and cheaply so as to determine where expensive and time-consuming surveys of functional connectivity should occur. We use least-cost methods, the most accurate and up-to-date land conversion dataset for East Africa, and interview data on wildlife cor...
