Project experts concluded several tasks, amongst other activities they collected data, did joint field work in three selected pilot areas (Kysuce-Beskydy (CZ-SK), Arad-Deva (RO) and Tirgu-Iasi (RO)) and held many stakeholder meetings and seminars. Finally, they developed joint methodologies for monitoring collisions and road-kills and prepared the Guidelines for Wildlife and Traffic in the Carpathians which describes and recommends integrated transport infrastructure planning, construction, management and monitoring that take into account biodiversity conservation and minimise landscape fragmentation.
