From Connect-the-Dots to Dynamic Networks: Maintaining and Enhancing Connectivity to Address Climate Change Impacts on Wildlife
This excerpt discusses the definition of connectivity for addressing wildlife responses to climate change and compare it to connectivity under current conditions. Guidance is provided on identifying, prioritizing, and protecting connectivity as a tool for facilitating wildlife conservation in light of climate change. Clarity on how to define and identify these connectivity needs will be
IUCN Lignes directrices pour la conservation de la connectivité par le biais de réseaux et de corridors écologiques (French translation)
La connectivité écologique est le mouvement sans entrave des espèces et le flux des processus naturels qui soutiennent la vie sur Terre. Il est impérieux que les pays du monde entier s’orientent vers une approche globale et cohérente de la conservation de la connectivité écologique, et qu’ils entreprennent de mesurer et de contrôler l’efficacité des
IUCN Guidelines for conserving connectivity through ecological networks and corridors (English)
These IUCN WCPA Guidelines are based on the best available science and practice for maintaining, enhancing and restoring ecological connectivity among and between protected areas, other effective areas based conservation measures (OECMs) and other intact ecosystems. For the first time, this publication introduces a common definition and recommends formal recognition of ecological corridors to serve

Innovative Strategies to Reduce the Costs of Effective Wildlife Overpasses
Wildlife crossing structures have been shown to be one of the most effective means of reducing animal-vehicle collisions on highways. Yet the widespread implementation of such structures, especially wildlife overpasses, has been hindered by their perceived and actual expense. This report compiles strategies and considerations for reducing costs during all stages of design and construction.
Wildlife Corridors vs. Crossings Fact Sheet
This visual aid demonstrates the differences between wildlife corridors and wildlife crossings. Understanding the distinction is critical to effectively educate the public about and advocate for ecological connectivity.
