The Linear Infrastructure Practitioners in Asia (LIPA) Network’s listserv is organized by the ALIGN Project. Its purpose is to facilitate the free exchange of information between among practitioners, professionals, and academics interested in safeguarding natural resources and promoting resilient communities during the development of linear infrastructure. Fill out the Membership Survey form to subscribe to the listserv.
Discover projects that analyze how safeguard measures and best practices are avoiding, lessening, and/or mitigating adverse impacts from linear infrastructure on people and natural resources in Asia and around the world.
Read reports and studies on how linear infrastructure affects people and nature and what we can do to avoid or mitigate any future conflicts.
Explore spatial data including on planned and existing linear infrastructure and high biodiversity areas in Asia.
Delve into in-depth training modules conducted by experts on implementing safeguards for more sustainable and wildlife-friendly linear infrastructure.
Watch videos, webinars, and presentations on the challenges, solutions, and benefits of sustainable linear infrastructure.
The Linear Infrastructure Safeguards in Asia (LISA) Project was the USAID-funded predecessor to ALIGN that assessed Asia’s existing capacity to develop wildlife-friendly linear infrastructure. Led by the Center for Large Landscape Conservation, the project developed several publications and training modules to help build a foundation for providing safeguards to protect Asia’s wildlife and habitats.
