Our views on transport

Road schemes can have negative effects on the environment, protected habitats and species. We get involved with road proposals to avoid or minimise these impacts, ensuring that any road schemes needed are in the least damaging locations possible.

Transport cases

Danube Delta

The Danube Delta is one of Europe's premier wetlands and home to over 320 different types of bird. However it is coming under increasing pressure from development.

Via Baltica

Important wildlife sites in north-east Poland are under threat from damage by a series of road projects on the so called 'Via Baltica' international road corridor.

A6 dualling proposals

A proposal to construct a dual carriageway raises concerns for internationally important numbers of whooper swans.

Able UK on the South Humber Gateway

We have concerns about a proposal for a massive 370 ha port-related storage facility on the South Humber Gateway.

Serengeti highway

The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania supports possibly the greatest migration in the natural world of antelopes and 1.8 million wildebeest and is one of the most recognisable national parks in the world, but could now be severed by government plans for a major commercial highway.

High Speed 2

The proposed new high-speed rail link between London and the Midlands prompts some tough questions about planning for our future long-distance transport needs, reducing our carbon footprint and protecting wildlife at the same time.

Rosyth International Container Terminal

We are actively supporting Scottish Natural Heritage's objection to a new development that could cause significant harm to the Firth of Forth Special Protection Area.
