African elephants (Loxodonta africana) utilize corridors to access limited resources i.e. forage and water scattered across heterogeneous habitats they roam.
The existence of small elephant metapopulations depend on the intactness of these corridors to access the scarce forage resources.
Due to the sedentarization of the previously nomadic Maasai people, elephant corridors have been exposed to increased fragmentation from human-induced activities across the Amboseli ecosystem in Kenya.
In this study, we sought to compare the scale of fragmentation between corridors and their immediate landscapes (non-corridors) in the Amboseli ecosystem, Kenya.

We used a Brownian bridge movement model (BBMM) to identify corridors used by elephants from global positioning system (GPS) collar data.
