Wildlife corridors for bear, wolverine and lynx preserve species by connecting reserves and parks.
Wolverine and lynx, which require large expanses of undisturbed habitat, are found in the Yellowstone ecosystem. NSF-supported researchers helped design wildlife corridors that connected reserves and parks and improved the movement of species at a substantial fraction of the cost compared to hand-designed corridors, while also considering trade-offs for multiple species.
