Images of tigers, leopards, and rhinos demonstrate why wildlife corridors matter<\/em><\/p>\n

The Khata Corridor is a 15-mile pathway along the shared border of Nepal\u2019s Bardia National Park and India\u2019s Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. Its short distance belies its significance for people and wildlife in the region.<\/p>\n

Nearly two decades ago, this area of the Khata Forest was a degraded patch of land. Now, lush with trees, shrubs, and grasslands, it hosts tigers, rhinos, and dozens of other species as the Khata Corridor.<\/p>\n

Wildlife corridors like this one serve as a connecting pathway that allows wildlife to safely move from one wild area to another. Animals often travel vast distances in search of water, food, shelter, and opportunities to mate. But the wild spaces in which they roam are often interrupted by fences, roads, and other human infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>Khata Corridor<\/a>\u00a0<\/span> was established with collaborative efforts from local communities, the Nepal government, and WWF so wildlife could move securely. The increase in wildlife through the corridor has also helped local tourism in the area and provided opportunities for community members to engage first-hand in conservation. The camera trap images below\u2013captured by a group of local citizen scientists\u2013show the abundance of life within the Khata Corridor.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/wildlifeconnect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/242fkyn6pd_Medium_WW1118151-768×461-1.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bb242fkyn6pd_Medium_WW1118151-768×461″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb hover_enabled=\u00bb0″ global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb sticky_enabled=\u00bb0″]Species: Greater One Horned Rhino About a decade ago, Khata Forest was simply a degraded patch of land.

Tigers are a\u00a0<\/span>Keystone species<\/a>: At the top of the food chain, tigers impact the composition and number of prey species, which in turn affects the vegetation. Their presence is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Tigers also require large spaces to roam\u2013about 7 to 58 square miles for an adult male in Nepal\u2013and the Khata Corridor is essential for their survival in the region.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/wildlifeconnect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/wf1o92s6d_Medium_WW1118130-1.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bbwf1o92s6d_Medium_WW1118130-1″ align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb]
