Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

• There are a significant amount of animals killed on roads every day;
Annual road kill estimates
Foxes: Up to 100,000
Badgers: Up to 50,000
Deer: Up to 50,000
Birds: Approximately 30 million
Hedgehogs: About 29% of the population, which may contribute to their decline.

• Deer-vehicle collisions cause thousands of injuries and dozens of fatalities annually, with one source estimating around 74,000 deer involved in collisions each year.
• Wildlife crossings significantly reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by 85% to 95% with the help of fencing.
• For example, a highway in Colorado saw a 90% decrease in animal collisions after installing seven crossings, two overpasses, and five underpasses.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure what you mean by a "significant amount" of green bridges.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
