Growing tourism, development and increasing habitat fragmentation is a cross cutting issue that is affecting this region. Dams on the Kabini river further compromise the movement of animals during the monsoons, as the dams cause certain areas to flood. Being a small sanctuary, corridors are needed to link the area to larger nature reserves in the range, to allow free movement of migratory animals and megafauna such as elephants or leopards.

However with increasing urban pressure on the fringes of the park, these corridors are often compromised. By exploring this area, students will see these ecological concerns firsthand and understand the methods in which they can be mitigated.
