Green Corridor
●Green corridor' (also known as wildlife corridor, biological corridor or habitat corridor) is a strip of land that is established to enable the bridging of habitat populations that have been split by human development such as a road, settlement or other human activity.
●If this is not undertaken, wildlife populations may become unstable and some species (animal and plant) could become vulnerable. 
●Green corridors may also be created in the wake of natural disasters, such as wild fires and disease, to help re-establish the newly reduced wildlife populations.
●Once in place, they can allow animals to migrate to new areas if food is in short supply in their usual habitats.
