Habitat Connectivity

New development can alter when, where, and how animals move between habitats. Wildlife needs large areas, uninterrupted by human disturbance, to find prey and maintain enough genetic diversity to maintain strong populations. Maine Audubon advocates for policies that facilitate fish and wildlife movement across the landscape, such as funding for Stream Smart culverts and directing development to designated growth areas.
