Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) in a country like Canada place a burden on society and natural resources. Some of these WVCs can have devastating human consequences, especially when crashing with large animals, while others may be a threat to species at risk. In this section, you can find information on how to prevent WVCs.

“The work we are doing with TIRF and the Action2Zero learning centre they developed with funding provided by Desjardins, may have saved our non-profit. We have been waiting for a comprehensive way to gather intel around community road safety so we can mobilize and support communities to develop a comprehensive road traffic safety plan. TIRF is a trusted road safety research institute and having their expertise support our organization has been invaluable, we hope to continue working directly with TIRF and Desjardins to deploy the Action2Zero assessment in more communities across Alberta and beyond.”
