With the assistance of various International Financial Institutions, in the last decade, Moldova has initiated a large Program of rehabilitation of its national and local road network. The existing up to date experience in integrating biodiversity conservation requirements into road Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) allow us to conclude and propose the following. The conducted EIA studies do not reflect all necessary requirements specified in the World Bank Operational Policy on „Natural Habitats“ and do not contain relevant avoidance and mitigation measures in this regard. While the baseline description contains general data with regard to biological environment, this information is drawn from official reports and thematic maps, scientific or other literature and internet sources, but without conducting field surveys and in particular of sensitive habitats and species of flora and fauna alongside the roads. None special observations have been done on potential migratory corridors which could be identified in the areas of forest ecosystems and wetlands. Only in few cases, the EIAs mention potential impacts on migrating fauna species (amphibian and mammal species), without undertaking field surveys and identifying follow-up mitigation and monitoring measures. Taking into consideration the EIAs for most of the road segments have been officially commissioned, it is proposed the State Road Administration (SRA) will organize a country wide field study within most important natural habitats on migration fauna corridors and based on that will identify what measures may be proposed during the rehabilitation and operational phases.  The proposed study should involve at least two rounds of field investigations – in the spring, before spawning and/or breeding, and in the fall – before hibernation. While preparing the TORs for the study, it would be necessary to specify the following: (a) identifying the types and boundaries of important natural habitats along the selected roads; (b) identifying and mapping important biological corridors and migrating species, especially of those included in Moldova Red Book; (c) providing schemes and /or geographic maps showing the exact locations and important habitats and endangered species; (d) documenting the frequency of cases with impacts of the traffic of migratory fauna; (e) proposing mitigation measures for inclusion into the detailed design; (i) for mammal crossings, possible mitigation measures would be the provision of warning signs in accordance with relevant road safety standards. In addition, reflectors may be provided on trees in the critical sections; application of repellents at the edge of forest adjoining the road for the purposes to scare away hoofed animals and prevent their coming out to the road and thus to reduce risk of traffic accidents; (ii) for sections with seasonal amphibian migrations, mitigation may be achieved by providing suitably designed amphibian tunnels;  (iii) for both mammals and amphibians, it is also recommended provision of special road signs: “Wildlife” for gradual speed reduction and prohibiting signs and/or “Maximum speed limit” during dusk, night and morning time. Selection of specific locations for these structures and activities can be adjusted with regard to results of engineering survey and upon approval of the relevant local hunting services. Design options shall be approved by experts of the Institute of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences; (f) biodiversity monitoring activities. Annual monitoring on fauna shall be carried out during spring and fall periods for assessement of their status, growth and possible damages. These activities should be carried out during the period of the Project implementation and subsequent 2-3 years of the road operation. All specified above activities should be part of all EIA studies and taken in consideration during planning, design and building new or rehabilitating existing roads as well as for their operation. This is especially important as during next decade Moldova intends to build up several bypass roads as well as rehabilitate hundreds of local roads.
