The expansion of the human land use leads to a severe fragmentation of the natural habitats.Biological corridors may facilitate the movement of organisms among habitat patches and have been frequently adopted as a tool to conserve and restore biodiversity.Metapopulation theory gives the theoretical starting point for the actual biological corridors studies, which are still in their infancy.There are not yet a solid scientific knowledge to recommend the use of biological corridors as a tool in conservation biology.Nevertheless, the effects of forest fragmentation are so severe that the planning and executing of strategies to attenuate it are justifiable, even though research results demonstrating its effectiveness and benefits are not available.
