Improving the environment and creating a green and blue corridor is one of the main objectives in restoring the [Wilts and Berks Canal]. Creating wetland habitat for endangered species such as the water vole is very important but just as crucial is making a corridor where species can move from one habitat to another along the margins and hedgerows. 4, record 1, English, - green%20and%20blue%20corridor

La trame verte et bleue vise à enrayer la perte de biodiversité en préservant, ou en restaurant les réseaux de milieux naturels permettant aux espèces de circuler et d'intéragir. [...] La trame verte et bleue inclut : une composante verte qui est constitué de milieux naturels et semi-naturels terrestres, [et] une composante bleue qui est constituée de milieux aquatiques et humides : fleuves, rivières, canaux, étangs, zones humides. Les deux composantes de la trame verte et bleue forment un tout indissociable qui trouve son expression dans les zones d'interface, en particulier au niveau des zones humides et de la végétation des bords de cours d'eau. 4, record 1, French, - trame%20verte%20et%20bleue

Connectivity conservation is a community-led approach to conservation that brings people together to reverse the impacts of habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation by reconnecting our natural world. Research clearly shows that the conventional approach of prioritising the conservation of isolated patches of habitat in national parks is insufficient by itself to ensure the long-term survival and adaptability of our wildlife and the resilience and integrity of our ecosystems – connectivity(the degree to which landscapes and seascapes allow species to move freely and ecological processes to function unimpeded) is crucial for our survival. 2, record 2, English, - connectivity%20conservation

As climate fluctuations alter the habitat availability of polar bears, it is crucial that we identify the preferred habitat of polar bears to fully understand their future required needs and appropriately support management of polar bear populations.... the preferred habitat of polar bears typically depends on seal availability[. Therefore], stable annual sea ice, which provides a platform for seals to give birth in the spring, along with the dynamic ice edge in spring and early summer are important factors in polar bear population. 1, record 3, English, - preferred%20habitat

L'exemple souvent cité pour illustrer le "no-regret policy" est celui de cette stratégie qui, pour mettre un frein au réchauffement planétaire, propose de réduire la consommation d'énergie fossile. Même si, éventuellement, cette solution ne permettait pas de freiner substantiellement le réchauffement climatique, les économies d'énergie non renouvelable réalisés en appliquant cette solution constitueraient un pas important dans la bonne direction. En conséquence les décideurs n'auraient rien à se reprocher. À l'inverse, une stratégie risquée en serait une mettant de l'avant une solution qui, si elle se révélait inefficace pour résoudre le problème, retournerait tout simplement les décideurs à la case départ avec un échéancier plus court. 1, record 4, French, - politique%20du%20sans%20reproche
