📋 Tender Overview
BRANDS OF LICINE is intended for the general population with the objective of reinforcing collective responsibility in preserving this species.
Portugals infrastructures have been reinforcing the protection measures of lynx Iberian a species classified into the Red List of Threatened Species from the International Union for Nature Conservation (UICN) as vulnerable and whose main cause of mortality is running over.
As part of the commitment to the preservation of the fauna IP has implemented several actions in road sections considered critical. Among the measures adopted are the installation of alert panels and road signs the adaptation of safe tickets under the road the placement of seals appropriate to the species the installation of speed controllers and the cleaning of vegetation in the bems thus increasing visibility to both drivers and animals.
By 2024 IP took a new step in protecting the species by resorting to the LORA system which allows to monitor the location of lynx in real time. In partnership with the Institute of Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) and the Waze Portugal community the company began to mark the WAZE application the proximity of felines with various roads.
Currently the system is operational in EN122 EN123 and IC27 in the Guadiana Valley region. The alerts are triggered as soon as the lynice enter the 200 meter wide security virtual zones adjacent to the roads. The implementation of this technology is seen as a determining step in reducing the number of accidents and reinforcing road safety.
In addition to prevention actions IP has promoted several public awareness campaigns the most recent being the campaign BRANDS OF LINC which aims to reinforce the companys commitment to preservation and protection of this species.
