Today, social interest in conservation of the natural environment,such as conservation of biodiversity and coexistence withAbout Road Ecology
Create transportation infrastructure for people and living things with road ecology

developed for the purpose to harmonize the natural environment
and to network for road infrastructure to build a sustainablesocial system since "Road Ecology" written by R.T.T. Forman andcolleagues in 2003 .

On the other hand, in Japan, there are very few places to present

studies of relationship between transportation infrastructure andwildlife, hence information exchange among stakeholders does

not proceed enough and the usage in various projects such as
roads is limited in the current situation.

We establish "Road Ecology Research Society of Japan" tocontribute the biodiversity conservation and qualitative

improvement of social environment in development,management and operation of transport infrastructure, throughinformation exchange, sharing and dissemination of informationon academic research and technology development of roads,
natural environment and wildlife.

We build the network among researchers and practitioners,administrative agencies, NPOs etc, across Japan related to roads(traffic infrastructure), natural environment and wildlife regardlessGreening slopes at Hachioji JCT on
