Take action to reduce amount of wildlife killed on roads an motorways.

What the petition asks

Roads are built through the natural habitats of lots of Britain's wildlife. More roadkill is being seen everyday and little is being done to prevent animals wandering into the roads.
Animals involved in road traffic accidents end up with a horrific injury or often dying on or nearby the road. Animals being struck on the roads also cause a risk to human life and safety and also costly damage to vehicles.
