E. V.  aSustainability issues in a tropical mega trail.h[electronic resource]  c2021  aSustainability is a target that involves many socio-ecological questions, depends on opportunities and combines different initiatives. This can be especially difficult in regions with high biodiversity scores, mega cities, high level of human populations and an intense and long-standing land use. Here, we show how a mega trail, named Atlantic Forest Trail, within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest can join the protection of biodiversity and sustainable tourism through a 4270 km corridor connecting protected areas and crossing a variety of landscapes. Further, we show some initiatives of ongoing biodiversity monitoring, and an analysis of ecological restoration in private lands that can be applied in many regions to improve habitat connectivity for both biodiversity and human use.  aBrazilian Atlantic forest  aConservation on private lands  aEcological corridors  aFunctional connectivity1 aNIEMEYER, J.1 aCASTRO, E.
