In order to follow the latest development trend of global road ecology and know about the progress of East Asian neighbors in the field, China Academy of Transportation Sciences (hereafter termed CATS) organized a delegation to attend the Sub Forum and Asia Round Table Session about road ecology in the session of the Fifth International Wildlife Management Congress (hereafter termed IWMC2015) held in Hokkaido in Japan from 26th July to 1st August. During this congress, CATS delega⁃tion carried out comprehensive and intensive academic exchange and discussion with road ecologists from many countries and regions, such as Canada, Germany, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan. Fur⁃thermore, CATS delegation introduced the up-to-date research results on road wildlife ecology in Chang⁃bai Mountain. After the congress, all the attendance visited several demonstration projects, such as Doto Expressway, Obihiro-Hiroo Expressway, National Road 235 and National Road 236. By attending this congress, CATS delegation found that road wildlife ecology has been the important research content of road ecology, and has been attached importance to by East Asian countries widely. However, there were a lot of difficulties still existing in this field. From the long run, China will play an important role in road ecology development in Asia.%为了跟踪国际道路生态学最新发展趋势，了解东亚邻国在道路生态学领域的最新进展，交通运输部科学研究院派团出席在日本北海道举行的2015年国际野生动物管理学大会“道路生态学分论坛”和“道路生态学圆桌会议”。期间，交通运输部科学研究院代表团与加拿大、德国、韩国、日本、新加坡、中国台湾等国家和地区的道路生态学家们进行了广泛而深入的交流，并展示了交通运输部科学研究院在长白山区道路野生动物保护领域取得的成果。会后，与会人员共同考察了日本北海道道路野生动物保护示范工程，包括Doto高速公路、Obihiro-Hiroo高速公路、国道235和国道236。通过本次出访，我们认为：道路野生动物保护已经成为道路生态学研究的重要内容，在东亚地区受到了广泛重视，但整体仍存在诸多不足，我国有望在道路生态学的发展方面做出决定性贡献。
