Additional information
Everyone is responsible for helping to reduce roadkill and we can all help reduce the number of animals being killed on our roads by taking care while driving at night and slowing down between dusk and dawn.
Remember, safety comes first so the Tasmanian Roadkill Reporter app should only be used when safe to do so. It is illegal to use the app while driving.
You can use the app to record a range of native species, including wallabies, pademelons, quolls, Tasmanian devils, and raptors such as wedge-tailed eagles. You can also report feral species and note disease on Tasmanian devils and wombats.
