商品簡介
Hidden beneath the scenic beauty of the Nilgiri hills lies a silent crisis-wildlife dying on roads. This book reveals the unseen impacts of road networks on biodiversity in Doddabetta, a part of the Western Ghats hotspot. Based on systematic field research, it documents roadkill patterns across amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, highlighting species most at risk, including endemic fauna. Through ecological insights and real data, it uncovers how behavior, season, and habitat shape vulnerability to road mortality. A compelling blend of science and conservation, this work emphasizes the urgent need to rethink road planning to protect wildlife in fragile ecosystems.
