About Habitat connectivity & corridor restoration
Reconnect fragmented native habitats and reduce isolation of populations/processes
Names and classification
- Record type
- intervention
Kauaʻi occurrence and status
- Recorded state
- Available, active, proposed or context-dependent
Conservation interventions
- Action definition
- Reconnect fragmented native habitats and reduce isolation of populations/processes
- Mechanism of action
- Protect/restore stepping stones, riparian corridors, elevational gradients and habitat links
- Prerequisites
- Landowner cooperation; spatial planning; threat control; suitable habitat between anchors
- Implementation context
- Fragmented lowland/upland, riparian and coastal landscapes
- Expected outcomes
- Improved movement, dispersal and climate adaptation options
- Monitoring design
- Corridor width/quality; occupancy; movement/genetic connectivity; invasive pressure
- Unintended consequences
- Corridors can also move predators/invasives if threats are not managed
- Implementation limits
- Implementation status, cost and efficacy must be tied to a dated place/program record.
