The importance of roadless areas; INTRODUCTION; LESSONS; 3.1 Roadless areas contribute significantly to the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services; 3.2 Planning of new transport routes should identify existing roadless areas and avoid them; 3.3 Subsequent ('contagious') development effects of road construction should be avoided in roadless and low-traffic areas 327 $a3.4 Unnecessary and ecologically damaging roads should be reclaimed to enlarge roadless areas and restore landscape-level processes 3.5 It is crucial to systematically evaluate the need for and location of proposed roads and implement the principle of 'no-net-loss' of unfragmented lands when there is no alternative; CONCLUSIONS; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; FURTHER READING; REFERENCES; Chapter 4 Incorporating biodiversity issues into road design:The road agency perspective; INTRODUCTION; LESSONS 327 $a4.1 Road planning, design, construction and operation are complex challenges that attempt to balance environmental, economic and social demands 330 $aThis authoritative volume brings together some of the world's leading researchers, academics, practitioners and transportation agency personnel to present the current status of the ecological sustainability of the linear infrastructure - primarily road, rail and utility easements - that dissect and fragment landscapes globally. It outlines the potential impacts, demonstrates how this infrastructure is being improved, and how broad ecological principles are applied to mitigate the impact of road networks on wildlife.
