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

Model Features

Roadway Barriers

Represents transportation infrastructure that divides once-connected habitats.

Shows how natural areas become separated reflecting real environmental challenges.

Fragmented Habitats

Inspired by wildlife crossings used in Banff and Yellowstone National Park, shows how animals safely move between habitats.

Wildlife Bridge

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

Connecting Ecosystems
