Abstract:Železniški transport je okoljsko in ekonomsko sprejemljivejši od drugih vrst kopenskega transporta, vendar lahko negativno vpliva na prostoživeče živali, saj pomeni oviro za njihovo gibanje (barierni učinek) ter neposredno povečuje umrljivost zaradi trkov z vlaki. Zaradi tovrstnih vplivov je smiselno načrtovati in implementirati omilitvene ukrepe, ki zagotavljajo ekološko povezljivost in zmanjšujejo umrljivost prostoživečih živali na območju železniške infrastrukture. Ukrepi morajo biti usmerjeni predvsem k preprečevanju vstopanja in zadrževanja živali na območju železniških tirov, saj se vlaki praviloma ne morejo izogniti trku. Še posebej primerni so omilitveni ukrepi, ki zmanjšujejo število trkov in ne povečujejo bariernega učinka. V preglednem članku smo se osredotočili na ukrepe, ki so bili obravnavani oz. implementirani na območju železniške infrastrukture in na novejše raziskave, v okviru katerih so preverjali možnost uporabe alternativnih omilitvenih ukrepov, npr. opozorilnih sistemov, testiranih v Kanadi in na Švedskem. V drugem delu prispevka predstavljamo predlog protokola za zagotovitev migracijskih koridorjev na območju železnice, ki smo ga oblikovali na podlagi relevantne tuje literature in lastnih izkušenj, pridobljenih z načrtovanjem in spremljanjem ukrepov za zmanjšanje povoza prostoživečih živali (s poudarkom na parkljarjih) na cestah, hitrih cestah ter avtocestah in z analizo povozov na območju slovenske železniške infrastrukture v izbranem petletnem obdobju.

Title:Providing wildlife corridors in the area of railway infrastructure
Abstract:Rail transport is considered to be more environmentally friendly, economical and socially acceptable than other types of land transport, especially when compared to road transport. However, it can adversely affect wildlife by creating barriers to their movement, commonly known as the “barrier effect”, and by directly increasing mortality due to collisions with trains. Therefore, it is crucial to plan and implement mitigating measures to ensure ecological connectivity and reduce wildlife mortality caused by rail traffic. The primary focus of such measures should be on preventing animals from accessing and lingering on railway tracks, since trains typically cannot avoid collisions. Measures that effectively reduce the number of collisions without exacerbating the barrier effect are particularly desirable. In this review article, we focused on measures that have been proposed or implemented in railway infrastructure. Additionally, we examine recent research exploring the feasibility of alternative mitigation measures, such as warning systems tested in Canada and Sweden. The second part of the paper presents a proposal for a protocol designed to ensure migration corridors and minimize barrier effects. The protocol was developed based on relevant literature and previous studies, as well as our own experience in planning and implementing monitoring measures to reduce wildlife mortality (with a focus on ungulates) on roads, highways and freeways. It also incorporates an analysis of collisions between wildlife and trains on the Slovenian railways network during a selected five-year period
