4. Conclusion
Over the past 60 years, knowledge of wildlife crossings has evolved
considerably. We no longer speak of "game crossings", but of "all-wildlife
crossings", to take into account as many species as possible. As a
result, for some years now, the notion of restoring ecological continuity
has been systematically included in the study of infrastructure projects
and the construction of wildlife crossings. It is regrettable, however,
that in some impact studies, the study of ecological continuity combined
with that of species behaviour is not sufficiently robust.
For the construction of new infrastructures, rules governing the
dimensions and spacing of structures (for both small and large fauna)
must be applied to avoid reinforcing existing habitat fragmentation.
Indeed, the fragmentation and disappearance of habitats linked, among
other things, to linear transport infrastructures...
