Portuguese term or phrase: livre trânsito (IN THIS CONTEXT)

I know this is a "simple" question but when you're dead tired you just can't think straight. Anyway, I can't think of a good translation for "livre transito" that would make sense IN THIS CONTEXT. What would you suggest? I thought of "free access" but I don't think that would work...what do you think? I have the word right on the tip of my tongue but just can't remember it...

Thanks!!

Também fazem parte da política para o setor o estabelecimento de corredores ecológicos – faixas de vegetação que ligam fragmentos florestais ou áreas protegidas separados por estradas, lavouras, clareiras abertas pela atividade madeireira, proporcionando à fauna **o livre trânsito** entre as áreas florestadas, permitindo a troca genética entre as espécies.
