Biokäytävät
Biokäytävät, also known as biodiversity corridors or ecological corridors, are a conservation concept aimed at maintaining or restoring ecological connectivity between habitat fragments. These corridors are essentially strips of land or water that connect otherwise isolated populations of species, allowing for movement, gene flow, and recolonization. They are crucial for the long-term survival of species, especially in landscapes heavily fragmented by human activities such as urbanization, agriculture, and infrastructure development.
The design and implementation of biokäytävät can vary greatly depending on the target species, the landscape
Biokäytävät serve multiple ecological functions. They facilitate dispersal, which is essential for populations to track changing
The concept of biokäytävät is increasingly integrated into land-use planning and conservation strategies worldwide. Establishing and
