Climate actions
Connectivity can be managed in multiple systems including the terrestrial, aquatic or urban/peri-urban and on many levels, such as field, farm, landscape and region. Cooperation among governments, public administration, scientists, stakeholders.
Landscape-scale planning and partnerships
Objective
Use landscape-scale planning and partnerships to reduce fragmentation and enhance connectivity.
Description
Land connectivity can be improved through a number of options, including linear strips of habitat connecting otherwise isolated patches, field margins, wooded areas adjacent to bodies of water, hedgerows and windbreaks. The corridor systems involved in landscape connectivity can also serve other conservation purposes, such as the protection of Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) or wild plants closely related to domesticated plants.Expected results
Carbon sequestration, conservation of species, food/habitat/species mobility, gene flow, pollinator species and pest control, soil conservation, water regulation and protection, air quality, recreational value, aesthetic implementations, ecotourism implementation, collaboration among public administration and universities or research groups, human health and well-being.
Result indicators
Number of endemic and non-endemic plant and animal species.
Involved actors
Governments, public administration, scientists, stakeholders, citizens.
