Biodiversity under the wheels

Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and other wildlife are forced to dwell in fragmented spaces having to cross many roads to go about their life. Mobility design is primarily for combustion machines to fly along their supply chains. The mobility needs of the un-motorised is not taken care of with the existing infrastructure.

"Tens of thousands of collisions with animals are recorded each year across Australia and the number appears to be rising. According to NRMA Insurance claims data, there was a 21% rise in animal collision claims from 2024-2025."

"Many large animals, including kangaroos, are most active at dusk and night, often moving to feed along roadside vegetation. Insurance data shows collisions are concentrated on regional and rural roads, where higher speeds, limited lighting and greater exposure to wildlife increase risk." >>

Wombats are the only animals in the world that produce cube-shaped poop. They stack their little poop-cubes to mark their territory, and the flat sides stop them from rolling away.

Nature is a brilliant, and slightly weird, engineer. Just like me. except the brilliant part.

#Forest ‘#destruction’

Trees across #MountMacedon have been knocked down after being clear felled, #devastating the local #Landcare group.

“It is just devastating to walk around this area that was a native forest right near the top of Mount Macedon and see trees smashed on the ground for hundreds of metres,” she said.

“This area was home to #wombats and #birds, #wallabies and #echidnas, and now those animals will be struggling to survive.”

A burden to native wildlife

Sarcoptic mange is a parasitic skin disease affecting many Australian wildlife species. The burrowing mite creates tunnels under the skin affecting many Australian wildlife animals. "The mite is invasive to Australia and was likely introduced by European settlers and their domestic animals around 200 years ago.”

"The origins of sarcoptic mange in Australian native animals are poorly understood, with the most consistent conclusion being that mange was introduced by settlers and their dogs and subsequently becoming a major burden to native wildlife."
