Transport and Infrastructure
Home / Sectors / Transport and Infrastructure
Transport and infrastructure development in Vietnam has undergone significant expansion and modernization in recent years. The country has been investing in various projects to improve its transportation networks, including roads, bridges, ports, airports, and railways, to support economic growth and enhance connectivity within the region
Transport and infrastructure is a part of the drivers of economic development. However, through its impact on land use change and ecosystem fragmentation, it is also one of the main causes of climate change and the decline in biodiversity
Transport and Infrastructure
Potential impacts of Transport & Infrastructure on biodiversity
- Loss of habitat through clearance or displacement of land
- Wildlife mortality due to collisions between transport and wildlife
- Barrier effects to terrestrial biodiversity movement
- Habitat degradation due to changes in hydrology and water availability and quality
- Pollution (e.g. dust, light, noise and vibration, solid/liquid waste)
- Indirect impacts from displaced land-uses, induced access or increased economic activity
- Associated ecosystem service impacts
- Introduction of alien species
