Impacts of Roads on Wildlife and Conservation in China
We searched Chinese and international databases for peer-reviewed papers on road ecology in China and found 170 papers. Our review of those focussed on identifying ecological impacts, research themes, knowledge gaps, and future research directions. The transport network in China is one of the largest in the world, and our review will guide our work in China and abroad.
Designing and testing under-road tunnels for Asian amphibians
Many populations of amphibians are declining rapidly across Asia and road kill is a significant cause. In this project, we designed and tested a range of culverts to identify amphibian-friendly options to mitigate roadkill and barrier effects of roads.
