The Biodiversity & Infrastructure Handbook is a collaborative, online knowledge hub designed to support the planning, design and management of infrastructure to make it compatible with biodiversity conservation and contribute to ecological restoration.
Building on decades of scientific research and field experience, the handbook provides practical guidance, innovative measures and nature-based solutions to reduce the ecological impacts of infrastructure and traffic and benefit biodiversity. It supports actions to limit habitat fragmentation, strengthen green and blue infrastructure, and restore ecosystems, while contributing to climate resilience and human well-being.
Achieving safe, resilient and sustainable infrastructure with positive outcomes for both nature and society requires strong cooperation between all stakeholders, as well as effective knowledge transfer and capacity building. This handbook contributes to that ambition by offering a living resource, continuously enriched and updated through contributions from experts and users.
