A cost-effective approach to incorporate landscape connectivity in Environmental Impact Assessments
We present a simple framework for a landscape level approach to identify species road crossing needs and priority sites for implementation. Our approach permits pro-active, scenario-based planning for wildlife friendlier roads that can easily be incorporated into EIAs.
Power lines impact biodiversity in at least 28 different ways
Bird mortality through collision and electrocution are probably the most well-known ecological impacts of overhead power lines. However, our systematic review identified at least 26 other potential impacts on biodiversity that should be considered during ecological impact assessments. We developed a logical framework to help practitioners systematically identify and assess the potential ecological impacts of powerlines.
