Roadkill - extinction by design
"Wildlife Road Awareness (WIRES) has reported a 20 per cent increase in the number of roadkill incidents across NSW in 2023."
"The problem was made worse by increasingly dry conditions in some areas of the state. This was because wildlife may need to cross roads to reach water sources or, when other food sources ran dry, macropods such as kangaroos and wallabies were attracted to the green ditches beside roads for food."
