摘要
Present study was aimed at recording the number of animals killed on the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway (M 2) due to accidents on its section from Sheikupura interchange to Sial Morr interchange. Data for a period of two years were collected from May 2010 to April 2012. During the study period 392 animals were found killed on this section of motorway, out of which 71.94% were mammals (dogs, jackals, wild cats and wolves). Highest mortalities were observed during the months of December, January and February in each year. Month-wise comparison of two years data revealed no difference. Mortality data were negatively correlated with the temperature. It is recommended that wildlife protection agencies and media should play their role to highlight the issue to save wildlife animals. Authorities concerning the motorways should also ensure that fences on both sides of the motorway were properly managed to restrict the entry of animals on the motorway.
