Roadless areas in Great Britain are, on average, substantially smaller than the rest of Europe; 7.77 km2 in GB compared to 48 km2in Europe. Such high fragmentation means species with large home rages frequently cross roads.

Yesterday we were mentioned on @BBCNorfolk Radio in a discussion about deer roadkill! A caller shared that she reports sightings to the project.
We rely on reports from the public to build our database and track roadkill across the UK.

In our recent paper (nature.com/articles/s41598-0…), we found that more than 60% of roadless areas were smaller than the average home range of common UK mammal species, including the European badger and red fox.
