Day 3 of ACLIE 2021

Today’s theme is Planning for Sn*******ng and Cumulative Impacts

Many of the new infrastructure development corridors being planned and constructed on the African continent are composed of parallel linear infrastructure projects, including railways, roads, powerlines, pipelines, fences, and ICT infrastructure. Assessment of cumulative environmental impact requires strengthening in many contexts to enable informed decision-making in terms of mitigation. Coordinating these types of parallel projects can be particularly complex from a mitigation perspective, especially with project-to-project variation in timelines and engineering requirements.

Some of our presentations include how we can create connectivity for our wildlife across a busy highway in Kenya to how there are synergies and opportunities for work undertaken in Europe to have similar models in Africa
