'Important bird habitats should be avoided during the development of roads, dams, canals, and railway lines. But if doing so isn’t possible, mitigation measures should be adopted to minimize the impacts on biodiversity.'
Under the study, lead author Aastha Joshi and her team, including Baral, compared the diversity of birds found in two forests in the Mai Valley: one contiguous and the other isolated .
Climatic conditions were assumed to be identical for both forests, which are just 20 kilometers apart, Joshi said. “As the continuous forest is surrounded by forests, it offers a wide range of micro-habitats, food sources, and nesting sites away from predators and competitors,” Baral said. When the forest habitat is fragmented, the specific requirements of these birds can’t be met, he added. That’s why measures such as building overpasses and underpasses and culverts don’t necessarily help mitigate the impacts of roads on birds, he said.
