Transportation Infrastructure Investments and Consequences for Wildlife: A Review of Sub-Saharan

Jones, K., Ament, R., & Laur, A. 2019  |  Report

Investments in transportation infrastructure (primarily roads and railways) is a primary driver of threats and impacts to wildlife habitat and connectivity across sub-Saharan Africa. With this background in mind, this paper presents two analyses: 1) a comprehensive accounting of the global and regional multilateral development banks (MDBs) active in sub-Saharan Africa, their absolute investments in, and relative emphasis on, transportation infrastructure on the continent; and 2) a systematic review of the environmental and social safeguards and standards policies of MDBs that relate to wildlife, habitat, connectivity, and biodiversity conservation.

High-Risk Zones for Ungulate-Vehicle Collisions During Montana’s Fall Migration Season

Creech, T., McClure, M., & Callahan, R. 2016  |  Report

This report identifies short sections of highway that present the highest risk of collisions between vehicles and large ungulates during fall. It utilizes data on the frequency of wildlife carcasses recorded along highways by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) as an indicator of the relative risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) across Montana. It aims to increase driver awareness of highway sections with particularly high risk of WVCs during the fall migration season.
