Who we are

Written by

The Latin America and Caribbean Transportation Working Group (LACTWG) was formed in 2019 with a membership primarily composed of biologists, transportation professionals, and specialists from financial institutions implementing solutions to mitigate the impacts of roads, railways, and canals on ecological connectivity.

With a primary focus on linear transportation infrastructure, LACTWG dedicates its expertise to reducing wildlife mortality and making transportation systems more permeable to animal movement throughout Latin America. The members also develop and apply innovative science to improve the safety of both people and wildlife by reducing conflicts.

Likewise, it is a group where we can have direct contact with specialists and exchange opinions, points of view, experiences, and works, aiming to enrich and share the importance of creating environmentally friendly communication routes. We also promote the transfer of innovative technologies and methodologies, providing and publishing best practices in impact management and mitigation.
