After study, researchers appeal to TN forest dept to bring in speed restrictions, build wildlife corridors to reduce deaths
A team of researchers in a study found that a total of 343 roadkill incidents were reported within 10 months at Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) in Nilgiris.
The study conducted by Arockianathan Samson, Jeyasubashini Regupathikannan, Philmon Smart Edward, and Nizamudheen Moinudheen in 2016 and published in Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics recently, mentioned that of roadkills reported on interstate highways, state highways, and secondary roads, 30% were reptiles, 28% were amphibians, 24% were birds and 18% were mammals.
A Samson, Vulture Conservation Breeding Centre, Bombay Natural History Society, said, "The rapid expansion of roads is turning into a significant challenge to wildlife, particularly in biodiversity hotspots like Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) and this study evaluates ecological impact of road expansion on wildlife within MTR."
