About this app
The Citizen Science App Roadkill collects messages by perished on the streets animals and evaluates them. With your entries you will help to protect the animals and the environment, using the data obtained to identify hotspots and in cooperation with NGOs and public administrations entschärft.Gerade if you're heavily in nature or in built-up areas on the go, the app is a important companion to actively help this animal welfare and research.
Your submissions actively help in a scientific project on "Road Kill". It is charged with your entries which animals which come on roads to death and what reasons could there be for that.
What does Roadkill?
As Roadkill all have come on the road to death animals are designated. The German term Wildunfall falls short as a translation, because it refers usually only on larger mammals and occasionally birds. This is also reflected in official statistics again - data on dead animals on the road are raised only to so-called "" jagdbarem Wild "". Data on all other species - even to endangered species such as amphibians - are missing.
What relevance do Roadkills?
Roads are fragmenting the habitats of many species - the ecology refers to this phenomenon as habitat fragmentation. this would be allocated to human living spaces mean that, for example, the connection between the kitchen and living room is crossed by a road. Animals cross roads when they, for example, are in search of food, to look for mates (deer which cover the autumn in search of mating partners long distances), or if they change (such as toads during their migration in spring) between winter quarters and summer quarters. Animal species perform these migrations therefore particularly vulnerable to road kill.
For humans Roadkill has relevance -. Animals on the road make for motorists and motorists a great danger and also a great ethical burden not only collisions with large wild animals such as deer, wild boar and Co annually cause injury or damage - even small animals like hedgehogs and toads can cause damage, as always accidents by evasion and braking.
Objectives of the project Roadkill?
Our clear objective is the number of road kills to reduce as much as possible by going to the causes of road kills on the ground. The first step is to get an overview of their number, size and distribution of road kills. Through the collection of many individual data to a large data set, it is possible to determine exactly what conditions (weather, time, ...), at which locations (forest, meadow, local area, ...), on which roads which animals victims of roadkill become.
Aside from addressing these scientific questions, it is possible for us '' hotspots '', ie places where it is particularly common to Roadkill to identify. In the future, we try to defuse these hotspots in collaboration with government agencies, NGOs and communities.
We also see the possibility that motorists and motorists are warned by modern means of communication, precisely as well, depending on the year and day ago Road Kills. Similar to navigation devices and smartphones speed camera alerts, could particularly where many road kills occur before neuralgic road sections, be warned.
Parent The Roadkill project aims to raise awareness of all participants.

It's a pretty good idea. I can photograph images with my phone and set up my reports when I get into cell range. A big win for documenting roadkills out in the boonies. Thank you.

It's a great concept for an application, but whenever I try to start it, it shows nothing but a blank white screen.

Dear Bxb, thanks for your feedback, can you please send a screenshot of the problem along with the information, which phone and which Android version you are running to support@spotteron.net? That would be helpful to analyse your issue!

I don't appreciate people purposely hitting any kind of type of animal they need to look around while there driving and when they see a animal instead of speeding they need to slow down to a stop and let the animal Cross the street
