Animal Migration

The design and location of existing bridges and underpasses in the forest and Ghat (hilly) section of the NGT has already ensured that animal crossings in the forested area (Plate 5) remain unhindered. This mitigative action was taken some time ago. In other areas along the road that are established animal crossing points, fencing during construction will keep large mammals from direct contact with hazardous substances and also from being on the road during construction. Subsequently, signage can be put up at these points to indicate animal crossing points. Checkpoints located near the signage will facilitate monitoring of speed limits. Speed breakers can also be constructed at suitable locations to further ensure speed control. |
