LIFE SAFE CROSSING
PREVENTING ANIMAL-VEHICLE COLLISIONS
(9/2018 – 8/2022)
Aim: Implementation of actions to reduce the impact of roads on some priority species.
The LIFE SAFE-CROSSING project aims at implementing actions in four (4) European countries to reduce the impact of roads on some priority species: Marsican brown bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus) and wolf (Canis lupus) in Italy, Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) in Spain, and Brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Greece and Romania.
These species are severely threatened by road infrastructures, both by direct mortality as well as by the barrier effect. The project aims at the following objectives:
- Reduce the risk of traffic collisions with the target species through innovative Animal-Vehicle Collision Prevention tools (AVC PS)
- Improve connectivity and favor movements for the target populations
- Increase the attention of drivers about the risk of collisions with the target species.
