Australasian Network for Ecology and Transportation (ANET)
The Australasian Network for Ecology and Transportation (ANET) is a professional association that promotes the practice of road ecology amongst engineers, planners and scientists. The impacts of linear infrastructure and the vehicles they carry are are considerable and are responsible for the mortality of hundreds of thousands of animals each year, the decline of populations and disruption to ecosystem function. Road ecology is a relatively new discipline that aims to understand impacts and offer strategies and approaches to avoid, minimise, mitigate and offset these impacts. ANET will hold its inaugural conference in July 2014.
