Ontario Road Ecology Group

As Ontario's wild areas become increasingly surrounded and bisected by roads, a new assemblage has emerged at the Toronto Zoo - THE ONTARIO ROAD ECOLOGY GROUP

ROAD ECOLOGY is the study of the interactions between road systems and the surrounding natural environment.


Championed by the Toronto Zoo, the ONTARIO ROAD ECOLOGY GROUP is comprised of government and non-government scientists, educators, and transportation planners. Our goal is to raise awareness about the threat of roads to biodiversity in Ontario, and to research and apply solutions.

The Ontario Road Ecology Group will launch our habitat linkage or connectivity analysis and other successes at our upcoming Ontario Road Ecology Stewardship Symposium & Habitat Connectivity Workshop on April 23 & 24, 2008 -

**Please note: the symposium and workshop are at capacity.
