Minimisation of the road barrier effect on game in Poland based on the overpass spanning national road no. 5 in the Wielkopolska National Park
Abstract
The aim of the conducted study was to assess functionality of the overpass constructed over national road no. 5. The analysed wildlife passage has been accepted and is used by wild animals. This paper compared the migration structure from the years 2008/2009 as well as 2017 and 2018. A prototype monitoring set was used in this study. A hypothesis was adopted that within almost 10 years a change took place in the wildlife
migration structure both in terms of the species and the number of animals. The observations showed that during the investigated period the number of migrating animals increased almost 2-fold. Representatives of new species, including wolves and elks, appeared at the wildlife passage. In the case of red deer the number of migrating animals increased several fold. The analyses showed that a well-designed and properly situated wildlife passage effectively minimises the road barrier effect.
