How well do wildlife crossing structures help animals across roads?
Wildlife crossing structures seem like a simple and attractive solution to help animals across roads. But how well do they actually work? This latest global research summary tried to find out.
Animal Detection and Driver Warning Systems – a potential solution for wildlife-vehicle collisions & loss of landscape connectivity on secondary roads
Animal Detection and Driver Warning Systems may be an appropriate solution where over- and underpasses are not feasible along secondary roads. In this pilot, we found a 66% reduction in wildlife-vehicle collisions at a road section equipped with an Animal Detection and Driver Warning System in southern Sweden.
