According to scientist Reed Noss, “the combination of habitat fragmentation and rapid climate change is devastating because fragmentation makes it difficult for many species to respond to changing climatic conditions through dispersal.” For wildlife to survive into the future they need to be able to migrate between fragmented, shifting habitats and ecosystems. The best way to provide connectivity at a regional scale is to maintain intact networks of protected lands. At strategic locations where wildlife corridors intersect roads, well designed wildlife crossings can provide safe passage and important habitat connections for wildlife.
