Vol. 3 (2022): Number 2

The construction of large infrastructures such as roads poses a major threat to biodiversity due to wildlife roadkills. Some of the underlying threats are easy access for hunters, habitat degradation around the road caused by agricultural activities, oil and gas extraction, and mining. Altogether, these result in serious risk for many mammal species. Particularly, the population of Alouatta pigra underwent a 56 % decline from 2012 to 2017, with 37 roadkills.
