Pokharel, Rejina2021-11-292021-11-292021-05-012021-08-10http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.13013/1538The construction of roads is a recognized cause of habitat fragmentation, a major factor in biodiversity loss. At the same time, road construction may either harm or benefit low-income, native, or otherwise marginalized populations. I hypothesize that 1) road construction that is harmful to marginalized people is also harmful to biodiversity. 2) part of the harm to marginalized people from road construction arises from the harm to biodiversity.eventBiodiversityEcologyNepalRoad ConstructionSustainable developmentUnited States of America
