It is a special path that helps connect different areas of nature so animals can travel safely from one to the other without getting hurt. Some animals who migrate need to cross busy roads, cities or farmlands to get to their home. These corridors offer animals a safe green-space away from cars and people, which is important for their survival.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"738\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/PodArch-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-603619\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/PodArch-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/PodArch-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/PodArch-1-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/PodArch-1-150x111.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/PodArch-1-696x514.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While exploring the Frontenac Arch, a HUGE wildlife corridor that connects the northern forests of Algonquin Park, Canada, with the Adirondacks in New York State, United States. This one isn\u2019t just set up across one city or highway but across two countries! The Frontenac Arch is critical for the survival of several wildlife species including the river otter, moose, and eastern wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her tour, Emma bumped into Megan Quinn, a conservation biologist who works with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Megan has worked actively on habitat restoration to help the species of animals that reside in the Frontenac Arch. Species like the buckthorn are invasive to the area and need to be hand-removed by rangers and volunteers like Megan. She also records different observations across the property, to help the team at NCC decide what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-600879\" style=\"width:410px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Megan-is-running-out-of-places-to-put-animals-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You too can help!
