Connectivity conservation : international experience in planning, establishment and management of biodiversity corridors

This background paper surveys international experience in the development and use of mechanisms to establish and manage connectivity conservation. Specifically it seeks to provide an understanding of the range of mechanisms including laws, regulations, and other regulatory instruments and agreements which have been used in other countries to support connectivity conservation. The information in this background paper will enable practitioners in Viet Nam to understand what other countries have learned from experience with connectivity conservation and to adapt approaches to the national context. This review draws upon examples and case studies from the literature and from the knowledge of experts in IUCN’s technical networks.
