Question
Chapter 56.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Why forest corridors are important between two large parks or spots
Concept introduction:
There is a rapid decline in the biodiversity, which is increasing day by day due to various human influences as they create fragmentation and habitat loss for the organisms living in the forests. All this loss can be controlled and recovered with the help of the forest corridors.
The corridors are the places which connect two zones of biodiversity together and act as a link between two parks or hotspots thus increasing the conservation value of the hotspots.
