How a vast Romanian corridor allows bears to move from east to west in order to survive.

To preserve Romanian wildlife, a 150km-long passage was created in 2010: the Zarand corridor. For bears, this gateway is the key of survival. 

By constantly expanding and taking up land, humans have reduced wildlife territories, disrupting the natural passages through which animals must travel to meet their needs. Known as 'ecological corridors', these pathways are key to protecting biodiversity. So how do wild species fit into an increasingly inhabited, concrete, developed Earth? Are we capable of sharing territories with other living species? 

Beyond creating enclosed, 'safe' reserves and sanctuaries, what are the solutions to preserve these wild areas? All over the world, scientists, environmental protectors and inhabitants of these lands are working together to revive these corridors and restore the free movement of wildlife. 

Le bhith an còmhnaidh a’ leudachadh air ràitealachd talmhainn, tha mac an duine air ranntairean fiadh-bheatha a lùghdachadh, a’ cur dragh air na slighean nàdarra trom feum beathaichean a dhol troimhe gus na feumalachdan aca a choileanadh. 

Aithnichte mar “shlighean èic-eòlach”, tha na starain seo air leth cudromach airson a bhith a’ dìon bith-iomadachd. Le sin, ciamar as urrainn do fhiadh-bheatha an t-àite aca a ghabhail ann an saoghal concrait, leasaichte, làn daoine? A bheil e comasach dhuinn a bhith beò ann an ranntairean le beathaichean eile? A bharrachd air a bhith a’ cruthachadh tèarmainn “sàbhailte” dùinte, dè am fuasgladh a th’ ann airson nan àitichean fiadhaich seo a dhìon? Air feadh an t-saoghail, tha luchd-saidheans, luchd-dìon na h-àrainneachd agus an fheadhainn a tha a’ fuireach sna tìrean seo uile ag obair còmhla gus na slighean seo a neartachadh às ùr gus siubhal saor nam beathaichean seo ath-stèidheachadh. Tha an t-amas seo mar phàirt de cheann-uidhe riatanach eile: a bhith beò le beathaichean fiadhaich.
