Central Atlantic Forest Ecological Corridor

Espírito Santo, Brazil

The Central Atlantic Forest Ecological Corridor (Corredor Central da Mata Atlântica) is an ecological corridor in the states of Espírito Santo and Bahia, Brazil. It promotes improvements to connectivity between fragments of Atlantic Forest in the region with the goal of maintaining genetic health among flora and fauna. The greater Atlantic Forest is also home to many native endangered or vulnerable species that are endemic to this part of the globe including but not limited to the: golden lion tamarin, three-toed sloth, and the bristle-spined rat. The Central Ecological Corridor is beneficial in connecting hundreds of at-risk populations experiencing reduced gene flow and genetic variation due to deforestation.
