Help Us Save Wildlife: Citizen Science Roadkill Monitoring Across Botswana
We are currently conducting a nationwide citizen science project to document and better understand wildlife roadkill across Botswana. Every year, countless wild animals are killed on our roads, posing a serious threat to both biodiversity and human safety.
The goal of this study is to identify roadkill hotspots and the species most affected so we can develop targeted strategies to reduce collisions and make our roads safer for both people and wildlife.
We need your help! If you come across roadkill, please report it by sending:
Species identification (if known)
A clear photo
GPS coordinates or location description
You can report sightings via:
