Increase in demand for installing wildlife crossings on routes in Córdoba

Most read

Wildlife crossings are essential to promote the free movement of animals and reduce the risk of roadkill.

Together with speed limit signs and other road tools, they help protect native fauna.

Encounters and Risks on the Roads of Córdoba

Motorists in Córdoba frequently encounter native wildlife such as skunks, deer, weasels, foxes, and turtles.

Unfortunately, these encounters often result in animals being run over due to lack of timely detection. Additionally, urban growth reduces the natural shelters of these animals, increasing encounters with humans.

Environmentalists insist on the need for safe crossings for animals

Proposed Solution: Safe Crossings for Animals

Environmentalists insist on the need to build wildlife crossings to prevent the mortality of native species.

These can be ecoducts (land and vegetation bridges) or underpasses (passages beneath the roads). It is necessary to analyze suitable sites and the critical displacement areas of wildlife.

Initiatives and Petitions

The construction of these safe crossings is requested by various environmental organizations, such as the Mil Aves de Córdoba Foundation and the Wildlife Foundation, among others. Although they have addressed requests to the Provincial Road Directorate, they have not yet received responses.

Strategies of the Ministry of Environment and Circular Economy

The Ministry of Environment and Circular Economy of Córdoba is working on strategies to mitigate roadkill. So far, the province of Misiones is the only one in the country with these wildlife preservation devices.
