Deep-sea ecosystems are more connected across oceans than shallow waters, emphasizing the need for conservation strategies that protect biodiversity at all depths. The post Deep-sea life connects across oceans appeared first on Conservation Corridor.| Conservation Corridor
A continent-wide analysis of more than 400 North American bird species reveals that while many are shifting ranges northward, these movements only partly reduce their exposure to rapidly rising temperatures. The post How well do range shifts mitigate climate change for North American birds? appeared first on Conservation Corridor.| Conservation Corridor
To address the disconnect between science and real-world implementation, a new framework resolves longstanding uncertainties about how to effectively protect large-scale ecological linkages in an era of increasing threats.| Conservation Corridor
Despite the increased focus on creating protected areas to achieve large-scale conservation goals like 30x30, a new assessment reveals that many species across multiple taxa still face widespread and ongoing threats to their survival.Despite growing efforts to expand protected areas under goals like 30x30, a new assessment shows that many species across different taxonomic groups continue to face widespread, ongoing threats to their survival.| Conservation Corridor
A new synthesis of temperate coastal research argues that for global conservation targets such as 30x30 to succeed, connectivity must be at the heart of coastal restoration efforts.| Conservation Corridor
Extreme snowfall in Wyoming forced pronghorn to make long-distance escape movements, but encounters with fences and highways significantly increased mortality, highlighting the need for connectivity planning beyond seasonal migrations.

A new study examines how habitat connectivity, land cover, and traffic patterns influence wildlife-vehicle collision hotspots in New Hampshire, revealing that more connected areas may actually experience fewer collisions depending on species and landscape context.| Conservation Corridor
Invertebrate surveys from the UK show that woodland connectivity enhances biodiversity, especially in landscapes with low woodland cover, highlighting the need for targeted restoration to maximize ecological benefits.| Conservation Corridor
Nearly five years after the inception of its 30x30 initiative, California has conserved 26.1% of its lands and 21.9% of its coastal waters. The 2025 Pathways to 30x30 Annual Progress Report is now available from the California Natural Resources Agency.

Uruq Bani Ma’arid, one of Saudi Arabia’s most ecologically significant protected areas and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been admitted to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas. This recognition confirms the site’s global ecological importance and highlights the Kingdom’s expanding leadership in conserving arid-land habitats.| www.gdnonline.com
