Abstract

 The impact of transport infrastructure on ecologycal safety of mammals is studied.  Environmental effects of the transport system,such as: habitats loss and transformation, disturbance due to emissions and edge effects, mortality due to traffic, habitats fragmentation and interruption of migration routes are analyzed
