{wiki=Category:Ecological_connectivity}
Ecological connectivity refers to the functional relationships between ecosystems and the ability of species to move and migrate across landscapes. It emphasizes the importance of natural and semi-natural habitats being linked together to enable ecological processes such as gene flow, species migration, and the dispersal of organisms.
