208 wild fauna killed on the 85-km stretch since 2017; reptiles the most common casualty
Monkeys caught from villages as well as urban areas and left in jungles are killed in droves every year, owing to highway accidents.
More than 12% of the roadkills on the Srisailam highway through Amrabad Tiger Reserve, are of Rhesus Macaque, the primate most commonly seen roaming human habitations. Rhesus Macaque is not an endemic species to Nallamala Hills and its members are left here after being caught from municipalities and panchayats, officials from the Forest department say.
Unable to survive in the wild, the monkeys hang around the highway feeding off morsels thrown by travellers and occasionally coming under the tyres of the passing vehicles.
