China is experiencing rapid growth in its economy, human population and transportation network. Environmental protection (e.g. slope stabilisation, vegetation protection and establishment, storm water collection and treatment) during road construction has been a priority over the past few decades. More recently, China has begun to protect its biodiversity when planning, designing and constructing new roads and railway lines. However, China still lags behind many developed countries in some areas of road ecology. A concerted and sustained effort is required to achieve an ecologically sustainable transportation network for the future.

    The rate of growth in the Chinese road and railway network is rapid and will continue to be so into the foreseeable future.

    China has recently adopted road ecology principles and concepts to be used in future road projects.

    Wildlife‐sensitive road designs based on recent road ecology research are being implemented on new roads in China.

    Further research and dissemination of findings is essential to improve the ecological sustainability of China's roads.

    New roads are continuing to be built and existing roads widened across much of China to accommodate an increasingly mobile human population. To protect China's unique biodiversity, we need to (i) better understand the impact of the road network on plants, animals and ecosystem processes; (ii) initiate and complete long‐term studies of the effectiveness of mitigation measures on populations; and (iii) develop systems and processes to ensure experts from relevant disciplines are involved in the planning, design, construction, operation and evaluation of the road and rail network.
