IENE objectives

The general goal of IENE is to provide an independent, international and interdisciplinary arena for exchange and development of expert knowledge.
By this, we seek to promote a safe and ecologically sustainable pan-European transport infrastructure through recommending measures and planning procedures to conserve biodiversity, counteract landscape fragmentation, and reduce vehicular accidents and wildlife casualties.
More specific objectives of the IENE network are:

• developing methods to prioritize where and when mitigation measures are needed
• harmonising mitigating and compensation measures at European level
• supporting national initiatives concerning environment & transport
• promoting international and multidisciplinary cooperation in research and monitoring activities
• highlighting gaps in knowledge and providing input to upcoming national and international research frameworks
• sensitizing a broader audience, support education around the problem of habitat fragmentation due to transport infrastructure.
