Pollinator Habitat Conservation Along Roadways
| 项目名称： | Pollinator Habitat Conservation Along Roadways |
| 摘要： | The objective of this research is to develop a guidebook for state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other right-of-way (ROW) owners and operators to make informed decisions and implement tailored programs to maximize the potential to improve insect pollinator habitat. The guidebook should consider geographical, adjacent land use and ecological contexts, roadway characteristics and safety, and public benefits. The guidebook should address the following as a minimum: (1) Assessment of proactive Endangered Species Act compliance approaches (e.g., pre-listing agreements, Candidate Conservation Agreements, Habitat Conservation Plans); (2) Existing maintenance practices that affect insect pollinator habitat; (3) Assessment of existing systems planning, design, and construction practices that positively or negatively impact habitat; (4) Approaches to site, create, and restore habitat including the long-term maintenance considerations, and performance measures and assessment; (5) Approaches to adapt habitat to environmental changes; (6) Communication plans for internal and external audiences (e.g., senior management, business owners, the general public, roadway maintenance personnel) on pollinator habitat importance and best management practices; (7) Benefit-cost implications; and (8) Coordination plans with other agencies that manage insects. The guidebook should include flexible decision-making processes and products to enable ROW owners and operators to develop integrated practices to promote insect pollinator habitat. |
