Wildlife road kills: not just because of drivers but sometiime because of vandalisms, less concern by the authorities, lack of signboards warning animals crossing, information on wildlife migration routes and wrongly puting top management who are not concerning wildlife.

most of time the roadkill like this female palm civet

roadkill involving Tapir, Clouded leopard, leopard cat, wild boar, langurs and slow loris.

Roads kill rainforests. Stop them now, say Smithsonian

To help mitigate the impact of roads and other linear projects in the world’s rainforests,  these are the recommendations:

• Write environmental impact assessments for new roads that take into account the true impact of a new road in terms of forest invasions, hunters, land speculation and secondary road building;
• Establish protected reserves along new roadways before roads are built;
• Minimize new roads created by logging operations with careful pre-harvest planning and focus logging operations along existing highways and already-populated areas;
• Limit the widths of logging roads and close the roads after logging is completed in a region;
• Build roadways with proper drainage that can handle the intense runoff from heavy tropical rainfall;
• Promote the building of railroads over roadways;
• Allow secondary growth and vines to proliferate along forest margins, providing a buffer that lessens forest desiccation and wind;
• Try to maintain a relatively continuous forest canopy above roads and build artificial canopy walkways over roadways for arboreal species;
• Establish wildlife fences to steer animals toward culverts built to allow safe passage under roadways; and
• Limit vehicle speeds, use speed bumps and warning strips and restrict night-time driving when animal activity is highest.
