This Methodology aims to be a practical guide easy to use for experts identifying wildlife/migration corridors and for entities or individuals who will use the results of the applied Methodology. The publication illustrates the topic and problems of ecological connectivity in a broader context.
The ecological network has been identified across the Carpathians with more detailed networks in 4 pilot areas. See in the map section of this online platform.
The Methodology is replicable and can be adapted accordingly to the needs of countries and
regions of the Carpathians and beyond.
