For the first time, important Koala habitat corridors throughout Greater Sydney have been mapped... [It is] a cost-effective opportunity that allows Sydney’s critical Koala populations and other threatened species to persist amidst growing threats from development. https://www.tec.org.au/greater_sydney_koala_green_belts_corridors_of_survival

This is really positive news and needs to be done for all Australian cities. Wildlife corridors help animals survive through the ability to move, not caught in bush 'islands' where they are endangered by threats like fire and lack of food with nowhere to go.

What do "restoration opportunity" and "vulnerable link" mean here? I would guess that "restoration opportunity" might mean that the habitat is not currently suitable, but could potentially be restored to health. And to me "vulnerable link" implies that the area is still currently a suitable habitat, but is at risk of deteriorating if no effort is made. But the red of 'vulnerable link' makes it seem like a lower condition than 'restoration opportunity' - so I figure I might be misunderstanding what this is about.
