LISA Project

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.
