The Road Ahead

The Burbank Wildlife Protection Group is mentioned in the October/November 2006 issue of the RACQ's The Road Ahead publication.

The eco motoring column by Jon Dee (co-founder of Planet Ark) starts with a quote by Steve Irwin - "People don't slow down enough when they see the wildlife signs and this is the result".

The article states that "Many thousands of injured native animals received treatment at Steve Irwin's animal hospital at Australia Zoo, but unfortunately too many native animals still die on the state's roads."

Further in the article the BWPG gets their mention:

"The Burbank Wildlife Protection Group is one Queensland group that has successfully lobbied to reduce speed limits in areas of high road kill frequency".

An important point is that the RSPCA and Main Roads have created a statewide number to call when hit or encounter an injured animal. The number is 1300ANIMAL.

Of course, it best to avoid hitting an animal. These driving tips will help.
