A Trial of a Virtual Fence to Mitigate Roadkill on an Unsealed Rural Road in Tasmania, Australia
1. Introduction Wildlife vehicle collisions (WVC), producing what is colloquially know as roadkill, can have serious consequences for animals and humans, i.e., death or injury, and can affect the environment through species decline [1,2,3,4]. Three main approaches to mitigating the problem of WVC, which can be undertaken individually or in combination, are infrastructure management, changing human behaviour, and changing animal behaviour [5,6,7,8,9,10].

Simply returning rescued wildlife back to the wild may not be in their best interest
By Bruce Englefield, PhD Student. Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney It can be tough in the wild, especially if you're a rescued animal or an orphan reared by human care. Shutterstock/Andrea Geiss There are few checks done to see how well injured or orphaned Australian animals survive after they’ve been released into the wild, we found in our new research published on Sunday. That’s a worry for the more than 50,000 native animals that are released in Australia each year.
Simply returning rescued wildlife back to the wild may not be in their best interest
There are few checks done to see how well injured or orphaned Australian animals survive after they’ve been released into the wild, we found in our new research published today. That’s a worry for the more than 50,000 native animals that are released in Australia each year. It’s especially worrying for any orphans who’ve never experienced life in the wild. But we found the rules governing the return of wildlife are not always in the animal’s best interest.
