ALIGN - Guidelines for Linear Infrastructure in Snow Leopard Landscapes
Guidelines for Linear Infrastructure in Snow Leopard Landscapes
Linear infrastructure—such as roads, railways, and power lines—poses an array of threats to snow leopards, including habitat fragmentation, wildlife-vehicle collisions, the introduction of pathogens and pollutants, and more. Forthcoming guidelines will engage decision-makers and practitioners to not only protect snow leopards and their prey, but also preserve ecosystems that provide invaluable benefits for people, nature, and our climate.
