The Center for Large Landscape Conservation is pleased to announce the completion of the 14-month, USAID-funded “LISA Project” to advance wildlife-friendly linear infrastructure in Asia.
As Asia experiences unprecedented economic growth, the continent’s rich biodiversity and complex ecosystems are threatened by the rapid expansion of linear infrastructure development like roads, railways, and power lines. In 2020, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) launched their Linear Infrastructure Safeguards in Asia (LISA) Project—an assessment of the capacity of Asian countries to develop wildlife-friendly linear infrastructure. Due to the Center’s expertise in this area of conservation, including road ecology, we were selected to be the lead investigator on this project for USAID’s contractor, Perez, APC.
Twenty-four experts from seven countries formed the LISA Project team to build a base of knowledge to support Asian countries in planning wildlife safeguards for future linear infrastructure development. The project conducted its research through an in-depth literature review, a policy assessment, Asia-wide and fine-scale spatial analyses, personal interviews, an electronic survey, and the compilation of case studies.
