Increase in the use of crossing structures does not mean a decrease in roadkill numbers

Abstract
En 中文
• Roads threaten wildlife by causing roadkill and reducing connectivity. • We analyzed data on roadkills and wildlife crossings usage from 14 years of daily monitoring. • The number of wildlife crossings at mitigation structures increased over time. • Roadkill numbers have increased over the years, even in mitigated segments. • Wildlife crossings structures are likely to fail to reduce roadkill due to absence of proper fencing.
