Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Corridors are important geographic features for biological conservation and biodiversity assessment. The identification and mapping of corridors is usually based on visual interpretations of movement patterns (functional corridors) or habitat maps (structural corridors).

Detailed explanation-2: -Corridors allow animals to freely move from one habitat patch to another without crossing human-caused barriers which can put animals, and potentially humans, in danger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Purpose. The main goal of implementing habitat corridors is to increase biodiversity. When areas of land are broken up by human interference, population numbers become unstable and many animal and plant species become endangered. By re-connecting the fragments, the population fluctuations can decrease dramatically.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wildlife corridors are also known as habitat corridors or green corridors. Wildlife corridors are also known as ecoducts and ecopassages. These wildlife areas are designed to keep local migratory animal species from the encroaching human populations in areas of high interaction between the two.
