At the crossroads of ecology and conservation policy, Nature Conservation 2: The Role of Corridors presents a rigorous scientific examination of one of the most pressing challenges in modern conservation biology — the fragmentation of natural habitats. Edited by leading Australian ecologists Denis A. Saunders and Richard J. Hobbs, this volume assembles contributions from preeminent researchers who argue that wildlife corridors are not merely convenient planning tools, but critical lifelines for the survival of species across fragmented landscapes, with a particular focus on Australian ecosystems. The work sits within a broader tradition of applied ecological science, drawing together field research, landscape ecology theory, and conservation management to build a compelling case for corridor-based conservation strategies. Saunders and Hobbs marshal evidence with precision and authority, illustrating how connectivity between habitat patches can determine the fate of entire species assemblages. A landmark contribution to the Nature Conservation series, this volume challenges land managers, policymakers, and scientists alike to rethink the way we design and protect our remaining natural landscapes — leaving the reader to wonder just how much has already been lost to the silence of isolation.
