ConNECTIVITY IS THE SAFETY NET OF NATURE

连通性是大自然的安全屏障

What is Connectivity?

什么是连通性？

Connectivity is the degree to which landscapes and seascapes allow species movement and natural ecological processes.

“连通性”是指陆地景观与海洋景观允许物种运动和自然生态变化的程度。

What does connectivity do?

连通性有何用？

Allows species to migrate or disperse to feed, breed, and respond to climate change. Allows natural communities to thrive by maintaining ecosystem functions like pollination and stream flows.

让物种得以迁徙或分散开来，以觅食、繁殖并应对气候变化。可使自然群落通过维持生态系统功能（如授粉和溪流）而生机勃勃。

What do we want?

我们想做什么？

Connected lands and waters: wildlife corridors, landscape linkage areas, free flowing and connected rivers, interconnected coastal and marine zones, and climate-resilient ecosystems.

形成互通的陆地与水域：野生动物廊道、景观连接地区、自由流淌且水系相通的河流、相互连接的沿海和海洋区域，以及富有气候弹性的生态系统。

Why do we care?

为什么我们关注连通性？

Connected lands and waters benefit nature and people. As the climate changes and development increases, we must act now and save and restore natural connections across all lands and waters.

互相连接的陆地和水域有益于大自然与人类。随着气候变化和发展的增长，我们现在必须采取行动，以保存并恢复所有陆地与水域的天然连通。
