Terrible Home & Life Habits That Are Harming The Wildlife Around You

19.Uncontrolled Vehicle Speeds

It’s always a good idea to drive the speed limit. If you’re driving faster than the speed limit, there’s a higher chance you’ll hit wildlife or run them over. This causes a chain reaction which can result in roadkill, thus harming the local fauna.

Unfortunately, lowering vehicle speeds doesn’t seem to be the only solution to preventing roadkill. According to the Nature Conservancy, “Since changing human behavior isn’t easy, the only sure way to significantly address this problem is to build over- or underpasses that allow animals to cross roads without touching the pavement.” If towns created more regulations in regards to building over or underpasses, there might be less roadkill, thus keeping the wildlife balance and ecosystem in check (Nature).
