Examines the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y), spanning 3,200 km across the Rocky Mountains. Over 25 years, Y2Y has protected 500,000+ km² of habitat and documented grizzly bear population recovery of 30% in key connectivity zones.
A detailed examination of corridor ecology science and implementation, covering the 30% of terrestrial land targeted for protection under the Kunming-Montreal framework. Explores trade-offs between corridor width, land cost, and ecological effectiveness across 150+ documented projects worldwide.
Compares three major connectivity strategies—continuous corridors, stepping-stone patches, and riparian buffers—across cost per hectare, species mobility outcomes, and land-use flexibility. Studies show corridors increase species movement 50% more than stepping stones, but at 2-3x the land cost.
