Campaign started to kill endangered badges on roads in BC’s interior

The BC residents are being asked to report the unemployed vision as part of a new campaign to protect the elusive American Bejar.

The summer months can be the deadliest for American badges, which are threatened in BC, according to a non -vegetarian conservation biologist Kareena Lammy of the provincial government.

The main reason? They are hit by cars while traveling on the road.

“The duration of mortality for them on the streets … starts from June, the peaks in July, and then in August,” she told the CBC Day -to -day Guest host Dug Herbert. “You can currently see a woman with two to three kits, (but) with a mortality rate of up to 80 percent in some areas, most kits cannot fall into falling.”

In an attempt to reduce the number of badges killed on BC roads, the province has launched BC BC Berjar Connectivity Initiative in BC and The Simpcew Resource Group, in partnership with the BC BC Bager Connectivity Initiative, which aims to create a safe road crossing for the BEC’s Fi Spot To stop the beding.

To get a better idea of ​​where the Bazes are, the initiative is asking those who see a bezer – dead or living – to report on the BC website on the BC website.

Those reports go to a provincial database that will help the group find out infrastructure to help keep the bacteria safe.

A news release states, “We have the most important tools of people on the land, which we have.”

It is rare to see a beger in BC.

“You can ask people in an area where you know that there are badges, and they have never seen one before,” Lammy said.

Lammy stated that 245 mature baazers live in Caribu, Thompson and Oknagan regions, while the Kutaneya border is up to 160 in the area.

They are considered endangered after the loss of residence due to human development, traffic deaths and harassment; According to the BCs in the BC, the points were considered an agricultural insect.

But American Baazers are calm creatures, Lammy said.

“I think they are a stunning animal,” he said. “Many people will think that Bejar is slightly more, perhaps like African Honey Bejar, that it is like this fierce, feudal animal, and they can be. But in experiences what I have done to them in this spring, they are really very calm, relaxed animals, which you think is still trapped when you are waiting to release it”

Lammy said that the group is currently getting stuck for the badges, so researchers can put harness on them so that they can track their location better to understand where they are.

They have also placed the camera in a culvert to monitor the route rates.

“Hopefully, with that information, we can design better streets with the Ministry of Transport and our first nation partners.”
