The Road Lab
The Road Lab is a research effort to quantify and map roadkill across the UK.
We are a team of researchers based at Cardiff University, with collaborators around the world. With help from the public, we collect data on animals killed by motor vehicles on roads in the UK all year round. This data is analysed to determine the impact of roads on UK wildlife and to identify hotspots where mitigation efforts may be needed. We provide regular updates on what we have learned on social media, on our website and in scientific publications in order to keep our reporters updated on how they are helping protect wildlife here in the UK.
