2.5 Corridor Network

A redundant corridor network may provide multiple pathways for movement, reducing the impact if a corridor is eliminated. However, this increased connectivity could facilitate quicker dispersal of problems such as diseases, parasitism, and invasive species. A corridor network may be a useful approach to encompassing a range of habitats in a region.
