Connecting habitats for a healthy planet | Parks Canada

Parks Canada works with diverse partners to connect wildlife habitats in many ways. We maintain ecological corridors, wildlife crossings, and remove barriers to help animals-and people-thrive. Why? Many species need to reach habitat well beyond the boundaries of protected areas to survive. They travel long distances to find nourishment, shelter, mates, and to raise their young.
Protected areas, like national parks, are often not connected to other natural areas. Human activities, like urban development, roads, and logging, can all occur around national parks. (Historically, sometimes they’ve even occurred within national parks.) This leads to wildlife populations being isolated-cut off from the surrounding landscape.
Our goal is to work with others to create and conserve connected, resilient landscapes that counter effects of climate change and biodiversity loss.

Please add captions to your website to make your videos more accessible. You have beautiful and inspirational imagery but it would be much more meaningful with captioning.
