Wildlife and Traffic in the Carpathians. Guidelines how to minimize the impact of transport infrastructure development on nature in the Carpathian countries

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

These Guidelines are one of the main outputs of the TRANSGREEN project. They are in general aimed to support finding solutions to minimize negative impacts of transport infrastructure development on wildlife in the Carpathians and are recommended to be used in combination with other TRANSGREEN outputs such as Policy recommendations on integrated road and rail transportation planning in the Carpathians; State of the Art Report and Gap Analysis in the field of environmentally-friendly transport infrastructure development and EIA training package.The book is designed to be used at all levels of sustainable linear transport infrastructure development - from the initial planning and design through the construction to the operation and maintenance. This initiative represents a particular step towards fulfilling the goals of the Carpathian Convention Protocol on Sustainable Transport in the Carpathians. It is based on the European COST 341 Handbook (Wildlife and Traffic) on how to avoid Habitat Fragmentation due to Linear Transportation Infrastructure and other guidelines and handbooks with special focus and adaptation meant to support ecological connectivity in the Carpathians. Development of transportation brings extensive impacts on nature and landscape. Most visible is undoubtedly animal mortality in collisions with vehicles. Motorways and other intensively used arterial roads and major railways create impassable barriers for animals. Such barriers then separate originally continuous distribution areas into smaller and mutually isolated islands that are no longer able to ensure conditions for long-term survival of populations. This process, called fragmentation of the environment, becomes more and more a serious threat. Migration makes it possible to compensate for fluctuations in numbers caused by a temporary worsening of habitat, epidemics, and natural disasters or by anthropogenic impacts.
