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.
Steps to improve connectivity consideration in EIAs for road projects
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for planned road projects usually neglect landscape-scale effects. We discuss 14 necessary steps to better assess ecological connectivity in EIA and reduce its degradation and/or loss.
