About us - faunacrossings.com.au

Our company faunacrossings.com.au is committed to designing, manufacturing and installing the most effective fauna crossings to achieve the best possible outcomes, by identifying a number of options to address a broad range of fauna and its environment. We have had over 15 years experience in design, consultation and more recently, research of the various types of fauna furniture to ensure safe passages for our wildlife.

For many years, ecologists and conservationists have documented the adverse relationship between roads and wildlife. They have identified four ways that roads and traffic detrimentally impact wildlife populations: 1. They decrease habitat amount and quality. 2. They increase mortality due to wildlife – vehicle collision (road kill). 3. They prevent access to resources on the other side of the road; and 4. They subdivide wildlife populations into smaller and more vulnerable sub-populations (fragmentation). Habitat fragmentation can lead to extinction or extirpation if a population’s gene pool is restricted enough.

Numerous studies have shown that the construction and use of roads is a direct source of habitat fragmentation. As mentioned above, populations surrounded by roads are less likely to receive immigrants from other habitats and as a result, they suffer from a lack of genetic diversity. The relationship between roads and habitat fragmentation is well documented. After years of research, biologists agree that roads and traffic lead to habitat fragmentation, isolation and road kill, all of which combine to significantly compromise the viability of wildlife populations throughout the world.
