Still unable to prevent wildlife from becoming roadkill victims
Despite millions spent on eco-viaducts, wildlife-vehicle collisions in Peninsular Malaysia remain high, with 2,316 cases recorded from 2022 to May 2026. Habitat fragmentation forces animals to cross roads, leading to deaths of endangered species like Malayan tigers and tapirs. Experts call for better crossing structures, citing the longest eco-viaduct in Southeast Asia at Sungai Yu, Pahang.
