Effect of COVID-19 Lockdowns on the Frequency of Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions (WVC)
Globally, wildlife has been affected by unprecedented changes in human behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. This comparison examines the body of literature evaluating the effect of COVID-19 lockdowns on the frequency of wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC). These contributions demonstrate that in many instances WVC decreased during lockdowns, but typically this reduction only occurred during strict lockdown periods; less strict lockdowns had less of an effect on WVC. The effect of lockdowns on WVC also varied by location (e.g., urban vs. suburban regions) and traffic volume. The effect of COVID-19 lockdowns on traffic volume will be explored in a future comparison.
