A single road can separate wildlife from their habitats, restrict access to food and shelter, interfere with daily routines and limit access to potential mates that ensure genetic diversity.” – Frank Flores, Wildlife Officer at WWF-Peru via PBS 📌 A total of 112 Malayan tapirs were killed on Malaysian roads between 2020 and 2024. For context, there were only an estimated 700-800 in the wild as of 2025. Over the same period, there were 4 roadkill cases involving Malayan tigers, further threatening the wild population, which stands at fewer than 150. 📌 Besides these species, many other wildlife face the risk of crossing busy roads every day. Here’s how countries are making roads safer for them. Discover more about wildlife crossings in Malaysia on Today I Learned or via the link in our bio. 🎙️ Why Are Animal Crossings Important?
