We are a newly formed team of researchers specializing in integrating wildlife conservation with energy and transport infrastructure development.
We offer cutting-edge, science-based solutions to address the challenges arising from the expansion of these infrastruc-tures, both nationally and internationally, ensuring No Net Loss and promoting Net Gain of biodiversity.
Our group is based at BIOPOLIS | CIBIO - InBIO Portugal.

OUR GOALS
a) evaluate the mechanisms underlying the patterns and processes of the negative effects of infrastructures including roads, railways, power lines, wind farms, and photovoltaic plants, with a specific emphasis on protecting terrestrial vertebrates;
b) assess and monitor mitigation and compensation measures across infrastructures;
c) bridge science with best practices in infrastructure development by compiling raw data from surveys and making it publicly accessible through platforms, predicting impacts for studied and unstudied species, prioritizing areas for mitigation, developing user-friendly analytical tools, and facilitating capacity building through manuals of best practices, workshops and advanced courses to assist consultants, NGOs, and public administrations in making informed decisions.
