A simple framework for large-scale road-related risk assessments
Poorly planned or maintained roads can have devastating impacts on ecosystems, threatening biodiversity and fragmenting habitats worldwide. To address this, we developed a simple yet effective method to assess global and regional risks of road-related environmental impacts. By leveraging readily available data on road exposure and species-level susceptibility, our approach provides a practical tool for conservation planning and risk assessment. This accessible method empowers researchers, policymakers, and planners to identify high-risk areas and prioritize interventions—making it both impactful and easy to implement.
