摘要

Ecosystem approaches to environmental conservation are becoming more widely accepted and increasingly practiced by federal, state, and local resource agencies. From a highway perspective, the Federal Highway Administration document Eco-Logical: An Ecosystem Approach to Developing Infrastructure Projects (2006) provides a conceptual groundwork for integrated conservation plans and mitigation activities that transcend individual agency jurisdictional boundaries and encourages an outcome-based ecosystem approach to conservation. However, Eco-Logical stops short of providing the institutional framework and tools to implement the principles. SHRP 2 reports An Ecological Approach to Integrating Conservation and Highway Planning: Volumes 1 and 2 are intended to provide the structure and tools needed to implement the ecological approach. Transportation and natural resource agencies recognize the ecological and economic benefits of integrating landscape-scale environmental considerations into highway planning, but the barriers to achieving the goal are high. Ecosystem-based approaches to highway planning need to be easier and more practical if they are going to be widely implemented. SHRP 2 has developed a structure called the Integrated Ecological Framework (the Framework or IEF) that builds on the principles of Eco-Logical, providing a step-by-step approach to reaching consensus on environmental goals, identifying and protecting conservation areas, and thereby speeding the delivery of transportation projects. The research also identifies tools for carrying out the analytical steps in the Framework using a cumulative effects assessment and alternatives (CEAA) process.
