Increased habitat connectivity
Impact
When revegetation/rehabilitation efforts are focused on improving habitat connectivity between remanant patches of vegetation barriers such as roads, powerlines and open agricultural land that can restrict interaction of flora and fauna species within different patches can be overcome. This helps facilitate movement between patches and the genetic pool available for species reproduction is increased.
Suggested indicator: Native vegetation area
Improved habitat connectivity may be associated with:
| Potential associated impacts | Suggested indicators |
| Increased genetic exchange between remaining patches |
