Habitat Fragmentation

& Wildlife Corridors

Explore how roads and development divide natural habitats and how wildlife bridges can reconnect them with a visual representation of habitat fragmentation and ecological connectivity.

What students can explore

  • Investigate how roads create barriers for wildlife

  • Understand habitat fragmentation and ecosystem isolation

  • Explore wildlife bridges and animal crossing solutions

  • Analyze the movement of animals between habitats

  • Compare fragmented habitats with connected landscapes

  • Discuss real-world conservation strategies

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Explore how bridges reconnect divided ecosystems.

Understand the importance of connected landscapes.

Roadway Barriers

Represents transportation infrastructure that divides once-connected habitats.

Encourage student-led investigations and group problem solving. THINKING

Examine how fragmentation affects animal travel patterns.

Shows how natural areas become separated reflecting real environmental challenges.

Wildlife Bridge

Model Features

Fragmented Habitats

Inspired by wildlife crossings used in places such as Banff National Park and Yellowstone, demonstrates how engineered crossings allow animals to safely move between habitats.

Connecting Ecosystems

Using wildlife bridges, reconnect habitats to restore balance in the ecosystem.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE FOR YOUR SCHOOL

Every model can be adapted to local wildlife species, transportation networks, conservation issues, and learning goals.

Helping students discover how small connections can make a big difference for wildlife.
