A Lion-tailed Macaque lies dead on the road - victim of a speeding motorist. With burgeoning human populations and developmental demands, a large network of roads criss-cross the Western Ghats. If traffic is allowed to continue unrestricted through protected areas and critical wildlife habitats, many such fatalities will continue to occur.
