The UoC shall maintain any natural wildlife corridors within the site, as determined through the ERA (see Indicator 2.1.1).

New line

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Maintaining wildlife corridors mitigates impacts on biodiversity and allows for wildlife movement across larger landscapes within their habitats or natural ranges.

    • Examples include ensuring corridors are maintained to allow the movement of wildlife to and from feeding or breeding sites either side of the site.

  • The ERA shall determine whether any wildlife corridors are present within the site and whether the site has taken adequate measures to maintain them.

Evidence of Implementation

  • The ERA demonstrates whether wildlife corridors are present within the site and whether the corridors are adequately maintained.

  • Spatial data and maps over a relevant timescale can determine if wildlife corridors are maintained.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • Whether the ERA report has identified the presence of wildlife corridors within the site.

  • If present, the ERA determines the site is maintaining the wildlife corridors.

  • The UoC has presented maps or spatial data to demonstrate wildlife corridors have been maintained.
