Abstract

The run over of animals on roads currently represent a pronounced threat to the wild fauna. Through road-killed vertebrate monitoring in sections of two roads in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, between 2008 and 2009, we listed the species and the groups most involved. 104 incursions in the study sections were done, totalizing 3,016 km of roadways traveled in 12 months. 49 road-killed wild species were found, belonging to 29 families in a total of 419 specimens. The most representative groups were mammals and birds.
