Habitats fragmented by transportation infrastructure connected again by green bridges and culverts: examples of wildlife passages in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and Poland.
Abstract: Against the background of well projected ecological passages in Europe, the work presents a critical assessment of 5 passages built specifically for wild animals over the A-4 highway in the Opolskie province. The structures, put into use in the year 2000, do not comply with the requirements because they are too narrow and not appropriately incorporated into the landscape. The lack of planted trees and shrubs discourages animals (like e.g. deer) from taking advantage of them and crossing the highway.Habitats fragmented by transportation infrastructure connected again by green bridges and culverts: examples of wildlife passages in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and Poland.
