About this project Animals never evolved to coexist with high-speed motor vehicles. Report your roadkill sightings to help identify high risk areas for wildlife! Project goal Identify problem spots where there are high numbers of collisions with wildlife. What participants do: Record the time, location, and species of roadkill you observe. Why roadkill? Animals never evolved to coexist with high-speed motor vehicles. Highways can alter habitat and isolate populations, prevent wildlife from moving freely, and place an undue mortality pressure on populations. Tracking the incidence of collisions with animals can help identify problem spots where steps can be taken to mitigate roadkill risk. How to participate: Note when and where you see roadkill. Share your observations here on Anecdata.org or using the Anecdata mobile app!Sampling Description
