Escaroad

Escaroads are visually spectacular but ecologically disruptive. Cutting into a cliff destroys specialized plant communities (like cliff-face mosses and ferns) and fragments animal habitats, particularly for birds of prey that nest on ledges. However, they also reduce the need for longer roads that would traverse more surface area, potentially preserving larger swaths of valley floor habitat. Socially, escaroads are both feared and revered—they become tourist attractions (e.g., the Guoliang Tunnel in China, a hand-carved escaroad) but also sites of frequent accidents.
