"10 million animals are hit on our roads each year."
"As Australia’s population expands, wildlife are pushed into smaller areas, with more roads criss-crossing their habitats. The most visible victims of #RoadExpansion are larger mammals such as possums, wombats, kangaroos and #koalas. However, millions of smaller animals including echidnas, birds, reptiles and frogs are also injured or killed each year on our roads."
