Popular conceptions of sustainable tourism like that from the United Nat

Linjär infrastruktur såsom kraftledningar har genom ett markanspråk en negativ inverkan på organismer och på miljön, både under konstruktion och i drift. Parallellt med ett ökat tryck på den biologiska mångfalden och kvaliteten på våra ekosystem finns ett ökat energibehov som konsekvent kräver vidare utbyggnad av elsystemet. Samtidigt har kraftledningsgatorna en potential att utgöra habitat och spLinear transportation infrastructure such as powerlines generate documented adverse effects on biodiversity. However, the potential of powerline corridors to constitute habitats, a dispersal corridor, or as potential to create value for biodiversity remains somewhat controversial.
