Guidelines portal

The Guidelines Portal compiles best-practice documents, publications and websites related to transport ecology and biodiversity-friendly infrastructure. It is designed to help users access national and regional resources that complement the handbook, including guidance adapted to local contexts, languages and regulatory frameworks.

Use the filters to explore resources by country and language, and to identify relevant guidelines across key categories. The portal supports practitioners, authorities and consultants looking for operational standards, technical recommendations and implementation examples for measures such as wildlife crossings, fencing, ecological restoration and monitoring.

By bringing together resources from different countries in one place, the portal promotes knowledge transfer and helps scale up proven solutions to reduce the ecological impacts of transport infrastructure.
