Corridors and Crossings: Mainstreaming ecological connectivity into existing and planned infrastructure

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
By 2050, 60 million km of roads could cover the globe, connecting communities but also driving habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss. Avoiding and minimizing these impacts is possible. This session will highlight solutions to protect ecosystem services, natural capital, and wildlife populations, while delivering the benefits of infrastructure
HideDescripción
Over the last 30 years, many actors around the world have learned how to avoid or minimize the impacts to ecological connectivity caused by infrastructure – including roads, railways, canals, fences, and energy networks. This session will bring together representatives of government, NGOs, the private sector, and research centres to discuss the importance of mainstreaming biodiversity conservation requirements into infrastructure development that maintain, enhance, and restore ecological connectivity. Participants will learn about existing and innovative practices, hear about experiences and developments around the world, and be inspired to apply the increasing body of global best-practices through their collaborative networks, projects, research initiatives, and legal, policy, and regulatory frameworks.
