Abstract
Applied Ecology The development of road networks in Asia, specifically China's Belt and Road Initiative, is expanding at an unprecedented rate and eating up previously protected areas meant for endangered tigers. Carter et al. found that ∼43% of the area where tiger breeding occurs and ∼57% of tiger conservation landscapes have fallen prey to proliferating road networks. According to this analysis, more than 20% of tiger and prey abundance could decrease by the year 2050. Sustainable road development is thus an urgent priority to prevent further decreases in endangered tiger species. Sci. Adv. 10.1126/sciadv.aaz9619 (2020).
