The Global Land Outlook Thematic Report on Ecological Connectivity and Land Restoration report was launched at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi.
It was prepared by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS).
The report urges countries to include ecological connectivity in land, water, and infrastructure planning.
Ecological connectivity means the unimpeded movement of species, the connection of habitats, and the flow of natural processes sustaining life on Earth.
