Many animals travel vast distances in search of food, water, shelter, and the chance to mate. But the wild spaces they inhabit are often interrupted by fences, roads, and human activity. That is why wildlife corridors—connecting pathways that allow animals to move more safely from one wild space to another—are so important.

The Khata Corridor links Nepal’s Bardia National Park with India’s Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. Two decades ago, this was desolate land used for grazing cows. Now, thanks to close collaboration between WWF, local communities, and the government, this 15-square-mile corridor is a forest full of trees, shrubs, and grassland—a perfect thruway for dispersing animals such as tigers, rhinos, and elephants.
