This handbook builds on decades of research and practice and provides knowledge, solutions, and innovative measures to reduce the ecological impact of infrastructure and traffic. It promotes the application of nature-based solutions and encourages to reduce habitat fragmentation, enhance green infrastructure and restore nature.

Safe, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure with positive effects on biodiversity and human well-being can only be achieved through the cooperation of all stakeholders and improving knowledge transfer and capacity building. This handbook aims to contribute to this vision by providing a living resource which contents may be updated with the collaboration from users. We welcome your feedback. Get in touch!
