• What are ecological facilities?

  “Ecological facilities, also called ecological provisions, are measures designed to limit the environmental impact of infrastructure and strengthen biodiversity. They create safe connections between habitats, reduce fragmentation and support the movement of wildlife across road and rail corridors. This aligns with European best practices promoting nature‑based solutions to reduce ecological impact in transport infrastructure.”

• Why are ecological facilities important?

  “Without ecological measures, roads, railways and waterways can act as barriers, isolating species and degrading ecosystems. Ecological provisions help restore connectivity, reduce wildlife mortality and improve overall ecosystem resilience—an approach increasingly embedded in European biodiversity frameworks and transport guidelines”

• What types of ecological facilities exist?

  “Common examples include wildlife overpasses (ecoducts), fauna tunnels, bat boxes, insect hotels, nature‑friendly embankments, green noise barriers and habitat‑restoration elements. Wildlife passages such as ecoducts and large fauna tunnels have been widely adopted across Europe to mitigate fragmentation and support long‑term biodiversity goals.”
