The BISON project is led by a consortium of 39 European members and associated countries. It aims to tackle the integration of biodiversity with the development of infrastructure, including roads, railways, waterways, airports, ports, or energy transport networks. The BISON project will meet the above aim through the specific objectives below: ● To identify future research and innovation needs for a better integration of biodiversity with infrastructure. ● To identify the construction, maintenance and inspection methods and materials which are long-lasting and resilient and can be used by different transport modes to mitigate pressure on biodiversity. ● Support European Member States to fulfil their international commitments by engaging all stakeholders into biodiversity mainstreaming for infrastructure planning and development. ● Develop collaboration among European Member States to become political leaders on jointly addressing biodiversity and infrastructure challenges.
