Introduction
Community-based wildlife corridor planning is an essential conservation strategy that aims to connect fragmented habitats to ensure the survival and movement of wildlife populations. Wildlife corridors are strips of land that allow for the movement of animals between different areas, helping to maintain genetic diversity and protect against the negative impacts of habitat fragmentation.
This final project aims to explore the importance of community involvement in wildlife corridor planning and management. By engaging local communities in the planning process, it is possible to create corridors that are not only effective for wildlife but also beneficial for human populations. This project will investigate the various factors that influence the success of community-based wildlife corridor planning and provide recommendations for future conservation efforts.
