Evidencias sobre la eficacia de los corredores ecológicos¿solucionan la problemática de fragmentación de hábitats?

Résumé

A review of scientific knowledge about the effectiveness of ecological corridors as elements aimed at the conservation of species in fragmented landscapes is conducted. Before, the potential positive and negative effects that corridors might have on wildlife are listed and the main methodological difficulties that show the studies that aim to test that effectiveness are described. It is clear that there is a growing level of evidence about the positive effects of ecological corridors of appropriate characteristics in terms of conservation, although it is expected that the scientific knowledge in this regard increase significantly in the coming years. The precautionary principle in the field of ecological connectivity becomes crucial in landscape planning, in order to prevent the loss of function of ecological corridors remaining in the territory.
