Urban green corridors thread migratory wildlife through city heat islands
Parks linked by tree-lined streets, rail trails, and riparian strips can form cooler, darker routes that bats, birds, and insects use while crossing otherwise hostile asphalt and concrete.
Continuous canopy lowers night temperatures and provides stopover forage that isolated pocket parks cannot. Cities that stitch these threads become permeable rather than total barriers on flyways and foraging circuits.
Urban nature is infrastructure for movement. A green corridor turns a heat island into a path instead of a wall for species that still share the metropolitan map.
