A study shows that elephants’ activity in these areas varies, likely according to their perceptions of the threat of human activities.
Wildlife corridors are areas, such as nature preserves, overpasses and underpasses, that connect habitats that humans have separated. These areas act as safe spaces for all sorts of animals to move around, including elephants. And yet, according tohuman activities seriously affect animals’ use of these spaces. Assessing these effects for the first time, this study shows that elephants cross wildlife corridors according to their perceptions of varying human threats.
“What is truly remarkable is that we found elephants do not perceive all human development the same way, but they are adjusting their behaviors to adapt to the variations,” Adams says in a press release.
