Abstract
In this chapter we emphasize the larger, regional, scale of connectivity. Our overall goal is to determine ways to connect the natural parts of a landscape that ensure the continuing function of the ecosystems within it. An important step is to review the empirical and theoretical evidence for the benefits of connectivity.
