Abstract Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. due to roads (hereafter road‐kill) can affect dynamic populations many species and can, therefore, increase risk local decline or extinction. This especially true in Brazil, where plans for network upgrading expansion overlaps biodiversity hotspot areas, which are high importance global conservation. Researchers, conservationists planners face challenge define a national strategy...
Roads worldwide contribute to biodiversity loss through animal-vehicle collisions, impacting ecological connectivity and ecosystem functioning. Despite existing environmental impact assessment procedures for road operations, the absence of specific rules planning mitigation measures raises major concerns about effectiveness current practices. To address these challenges, a two-year co-production process was initiated develop novel regulation mitigating collisions in Brazil. This...
The main goal of this dataset is a compilation geo-referenced road-kill data from published and unpublished road surveys. encompasses records 45 personal communications 26 studies in peer-reviewed journals, theses, reports. comprises 21,512 records, 83% which are identified to the species level (n = 450 species). This can be used identify taxa seem vulnerable traffic, analyze temporal spatial patterns at local, regional, national scales also understand effects on population persistence....
