A practical framework for conservation corridors

Habitat fragmentation provides the central conservation problem in this guide to biological corridors: protected or managed areas intended to support species movement and ecological processes. Anthony B. Anderson and Clinton N. Jenkins bring together corridor design, placement, management, and governance, pairing conceptual discussion with case studies from different parts of the world. The book also addresses the work beyond ecological planning, including building support among interested groups, confronting implementation barriers, and accounting for socioeconomic and political conditions. Its broad approach positions corridors not simply as mapped connections between habitats, but as conservation projects shaped by institutions, communities, and long-term management.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Conservation practitioners and land managers working with habitat connectivity
  • Students of wildlife conservation, ecology, or environmental policy
  • Readers interested in the governance and implementation of biodiversity initiatives

Book overview

The fragmenting of habitats is endangering animal populations and degrading or destroying many plant populations throughout the world. To address this problem, conservationists have increasingly turned to biological corridors, areas of land set aside to facilitate the movement of species and ecological processes. However, while hundreds of corridor initiatives are under way worldwide, there is little practical information to guide their design, location, and management. Applying Nature's Design offers a comprehensive overview of current knowledge on corridors, their design, and their implementation. Anthony B. Anderson and Clinton N. Jenkins examine a variety of conceptual and practical issues associated with corridors and provide detailed case studies from around the world. Their work considers how to manage and govern corridors, how to build support among various interest groups for corridors, and the obstacles to implementation. In addition to assessing various environmental and ecological challenges, the authors are the first to consider the importance of socioeconomic and political issues in creating and maintaining corridors.
