Our clear aim is to reduce the number of roadkills as much as possible by getting to the bottom of the causes of roadkills.

The first step is to get an overview of the number, extent and distribution of roadkills in Austria. By compiling many individual data into one large data set, we aim to determine under which conditions (weather, time of day, ...), at which locations (forest, meadow, local area, ...), on which roads, which animals become victims of roadkill.

In addition to answering these scientific questions, we would like to identify "hotspots", i.e. places where roadkill is particularly frequent. In the future, we will try to mitigate these hotspots in cooperation with authorities, NGOs and communities.

The overall aim of the project Roadkill is to raise awareness of roadkill among all participants.
