The Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) has signed two collaboration agreements to implement the Spanish Plan to Stop Wildlife Accidents (SAFE), a citizen science initiative to assess wildlife mortality due to road accidents on transport routes. Both agreements, one with the main Spanish scientific societies working with specific wildlife groups and the other with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), will reveal for the first time the mortality figures for vertebrate species that occur each year on Spanish roads.
