Efforts to reconnect elephant corridors must be carefully planned

Population fragmentation is the split of a large single population into smaller, isolated units, which increases the risk of extinction for endangered species due to population isolation. The Asian elephant is a flagship species; protecting its habitat and ensuring connectivity through corridors will help maintain a genetically viable population and conserve biodiversity. However, efforts to reconnect elephant corridors must be carefully planned.
