Linear Infrastructure Safeguards in Asia (LISA): Capacity Assessment Survey

Description

Building a Foundation for Linear Infrastructure Safeguards in Asia (LISA) was a 14-month project that sought to understand Asia’s existing capacity to implement wildlife-friendly linear infrastructure, as well as the challenges and barriers that slow its adoption, to protect Asia’s diverse wildlife species and their critical habitats from the region’s rapid infrastructure development. This data asset contains the data collected from a survey of 320 respondents regarding Asia’s capacity for implementing wildlife-friendly linear infrastructure as part of this project in May and June of 2021. The survey was targeted at individuals in five focal countries (Bangladesh, India, Mongolia, Nepal, and Thailand) and four main constituent groups (government, industry [engineering, construction, & consulting firms], international financial institutions [IFIs], and nongovernmental organizations). Some IFI respondents were based out of regional headquarters and were thus outside of the five focal countries. Respondents were identified through opportunistic sampling, with the survey being sent directly to 840 individuals across all sectors and countries, with the instruction to pass along to other colleagues as appropriate.
