The network of highways and railways that connect key areas of Romania and, further on, our country to the rest of Europe is being planned for development right now. This \u201clarge infrastructure\u201d will be developed across the Carpathian Mountains and will cross valuable ecosystems comprised in natural protected areas, including Natura 2000 sites, threatening to fragment\/divide and to disturb them. In order to prevent and to diminish these threats and pressures on nature, the TRANSGREEN project aims to develop an environmentally-friendly and safe transport network in Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Ukraine.<\/p>

The biodiversity in the Carpathians is at the heart of the TRANSGREEN Project, which is looking for solutions for large infrastructure development with low impact on nature in our region.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>

The\u00a0TRANSGREEN\u00a0<\/a>brings together organizations directly involved in the planning of large infrastructure projects, as well as nature conservation, which ensure an integrated approach on the development of an environmentally-friendly and safe transport system in the Carpathian region: national and regional authorities, international organizations, research centres and universities, motorway companies, environmental organizations. These organizations have the know-how, capacity, experience and authority to develop concrete solutions to reduce environmental impact and design suitable Green Infrastructure elements. One focus will be maintaining uninterrupted ecological corridors which ensure the free movement of species most vulnerable to the impact of motorways and railways: large carnivores (such as the brown bear, the wolf and the lynx) as well as certain species of herbivores.<\/p>

The concrete measures regarding the planning, building, management and monitoring of large infrastructure will focus on four pilot-projects: the T\u00eergu Mure\u0219-Ia\u0219i motorway (Romania), the Curtici (Radna)-Deva railway (Romania), the Miskolc (Hungary) \u2013 Kosice (Slovakia) \u2013 Uzhgorod (Ukraine) motorway, the Beskydy motorway (Czech Republic-Slovakia). The project will also develop a set of standards regarding the integrated planning of infrastructure projects and will advocate for their inclusion in public policy across the region.<\/p>
