El objetivo principal de un corredor verde es conectar eficazmente los ecosistemas, proporcionando a los animales un camino de fácil acceso entre sus hábitats. Recientemente, los humedales del campus de la Universidad de Lagos han sufrido problemas como inundaciones, deforestación, sedimentación excesiva, obstrucción de arroyos, mal uso, sobreexplotación e invasión de humedales. El corredor verde situado detrás de las facultades de Derecho y Ciencias de la Administración fue elegido como modelo respaldado por los principios de sostenibilidad. Constituye una base ejemplar para los paisajes del campus universitario. El estudio pretende explorar el potencial de conservación de la biodiversidad, los beneficios ecológicos de los espacios verdes abiertos y las estrategias de restauración sostenible de los humedales. Para analizar los datos obtenidos de fuentes primarias se emplearon técnicas de encuesta directa y análisis cualitativo de datos mediante la matriz Fortalezas-Oportunidades-Debilidades-Amenazas (FODA). El estudio reveló amenazas para los humedales, como la pérdida de hábitats, la sobreexplotación de recursos, la contaminación, las especies invasoras, las enfermedades, la caza y los impactos del cambio climático. El estudio concluye que la planificación paisajística adaptativa, el diseño y la construcción de humedales con características físicas como carriles bici todoterreno, senderos naturales y plataformas elevadas de madera dura son ecológicamente sostenibles y tienen bajas emisiones de carbono.
