OUR MISSION

To promote sustainable development practices and empower local communities through scientific research, advocacy, and education, ensuring the coexistence of nature and progress for generations to come.

Wildlife Threatened
by Infrastructure

As the world continues to expand its network of linear infrastructure, such as roads, railways, and pipelines, it inadvertently carves pathways of fragmentation through once-unbroken landscapes. This phenomenon poses a significant threat to biodiversity, as it disrupts habitats, isolates populations, and impedes the movement of wildlife.

Safeguarding Habitats
in a Linear World

Our research is dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of habitat fragmentation caused by linear infrastructure. We are committed to identifying effective strategies such as wildlife corridors and eco-bridges through rigorous research to restore connectivity in fragmented landscapes. Our approach integrates community engagement, policy advocacy, environmentally responsible planning, conducting comprehensive impact assessments, and prioritizing ecological conservation in infrastructure development.

The Linear Landscape

This is where Road Ecology takes center stage. It’s an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the intricate relationships between road systems and the environment, delving into their effects on wildlife, ecosystems, and landscapes.
