Roadkill remains a problem along South Africa’s major transport corridors
Explore how South Africa’s transport networks impact biodiversity and how the EWT pioneers innovative solutions to reduce roadkill and support sustainable development.
Tale from the field – The impact of roads through Zululand’s protected areas
Surveys of two provincial roads passing through Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park (HIP) and iSimangaliso Wetland Park (ISWP) to determine how the roads impact on wild animals, what species have the highest death tolls, and how the roads could be adapted to reduce the number of animals killed on the roads.
Science Snippets: The impact of roads and powerlines on South Africa’s primates
South Africa has an extensive linear infrastructure network of roads, railways and powerlines, which is essential for human connectivity. However, it is not great news for primates. Approximately 18% of the world’s primates are directly impacted by linear infrastructure.
