Connectivity and Corridors
Mapping the migratory paths reclaimed by the natural world.
- Spatial Geography
The Continental Spine
The European Green Belt forms a 12,500-kilometer spine across 24 countries. It is the longest ecological corridor on Earth.
- Mechanism
Defeating Fragmentation
Habitat fragmentation is a leading cause of extinction. This corridor acts as a bridge, linking isolated patches of wilderness.
- Biodiversity
A North-South Freeway
Unlike most parks, this belt runs north-to-south. It allows species to migrate freely across different latitudes.
