‘Threat to wildlife ignored’ — Maharashtra blackbucks death puts spotlight on roadkill mitigation

 

30 Jan 2023

Delhi: Twelve blackbucks were killed in an accident along the Solapur-Bijapur highway in Maharashtra Saturday evening, alarming wildlife experts who have emphasised on the need to implement mitigation measures along linear projects that interfere with the movement of wildlife.

Linear projects such as roads and railways are known to cause habitat fragmentation, making it risky for wild animals to cross over.

According to deputy conservator of forests, Solapur, Dhairyashil Patil, the blackbucks fell to their death from a height of approximately 30-to-35 feet as they attempted to cross a newly-constructed bypass road that cuts through a hill.
