Résumé This Resolution, consisting of 5 articles, establishes that forests growing between the primordial forests must be considered the same protected areas in order to preserve endangered flora and fauna. It defines that a corridor between forest remains is characterized as the strip of vegetation cover that exists between forest remains of primary vegetation in a medium or advanced stage of regeneration that is able to form a habitat or as a transit area for fauna living in the remains. Corridors between forest remains are composed by: a) neighbouring forests in all of their extension and legally defined river margin strips; b) existing strips of vegetation cover that allow for the interconnection of remains, in particular in relation to conservation units and permanent preservation areas.
