Green corridors, or biodiversity corridors, are large portions of land that receive coordinated actions to protect biological diversity. According to Brazil’s National System of Nature Conservation Units, they strengthen and connect protected areas, encouraging low-impact use by implementing a more comprehensive, decentralized and participatory conservation alternative.
In general terms, green corridors unite forest fragments or conservation units divided by human interference, such as cities, roads, crops or logging activities. Their main objective is to allow the free movement of animals, facilitate seed dispersal and expand vegetation cover.
