How can we save wildlife from roadkills?

Piercing through precious wildlife habitats, linear infrastructure like roads, railway lines, electricity transmission lines, canals and pipelines are altering habitat structure. They even threaten the survival of many species. India being a developing country, a delicate balance needs to maintained between development and protecting the natural environment. Studies estimate that globally more than 3,00,000 km of new railway tracks and 25 million km of roads will be built by 2050 (1). In India, about 50,000 km of road projects have been identified. These are to be completed in the next 5-6 years, with about 20,000 km passing through forests (4). Species like elephants, tigers and leopards are killed along roads and railway lines. Roads have a plethora of other indirect ecological consequences. Moreover, roadkill is one of the biggest threat to wildlife conservation.

The ‘critically endangered’ Great Indian Bustard (GIB) is facing extinction due to collision with electric power lines over its grassland habitat. Surveys conducted in the Thar area for by the Wildlife Institute of India, found 289 carcasses of 30 species including that of the GIB (2). Furthermore, powerlines are catalyzing the destruction of grasslands, through the spread of invasive species. With an annual growth rate of 5% (1), power transmission line network is expanding at an unprecedented rate.

With the linear infrastructure expansion mitigation measures is crucial maintaining habitat connectivity. This t will ensure gene flow; reduce wildlife mortality and human- wildlife conflict.

Structural Mitigation

Structural solutions like overpasses, underpasses and flyovers (the entire road/ railway line is elevated on pillars to allow safe passage of animals) can be constructed along the roads and/or railway lines (3). This has prevented scores of roadkill around the world.

The Famous NH44 Wildlife Underpass – A Hope for Roadkill

One of the most successful wildlife mitigation structures constructed in India is that on the NH-44 section that passes through the Pench Tiger Reserve. The stretch of underpass is 750km- the longest wildlife mitigation structure in India (6). The work on this section by NHAI began in 2010, but it was only after opposition by animal activists and legal intervention, did in 2015, the mitigation structure construction began. (6). A study by the Wildlife Institute of India (4) found 18 different wild species using the underpass(5). This includes 11 tigers. Even reptiles like monitor lizards were observed using these underpasses (5). Camera Traps along with continuous monitoring was done along various Minor Bridges and Animal Underpasses. (4).

Other examples include- upgrading NH-72 passing through Rajaji National Park with flyover for vehicles (3). The underpasses here are used by elephants, leopards etc. Also, fences are being constructed to channel wildlife towards the underpasses (3). Along the NH- 37 passing along the boundary of Kaziranga National Park, four major wildlife corridors are constructed, which are regularly used by wildlife, especially elephants (3). Also, along NH- 54E passing through Lumding Reserve Forest, Assam, flyover underpasses, minor underpasses and culverts for reptiles and other wildlife has been constructed (3). 1.5 m high opaque fencing has also been constructed to reduce light and sound pollution (3).https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-5018714880587597&output=html&h=280&adk=1806198667&adf=2132998929&pi=t.aa~a.4248256546~i.21~rp.4&w=1200&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1666877023&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=8184356145&ad_type=text_image&format=1200x280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fthinkwildlifefoundation.com%2Fwhat-are-some-solutions-to-roadkill%2F&host=ca-host-pub-2644536267352236&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=1200&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTQuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTA2LjAuNTI0OS4xMTkiLFtdLGZhbHNlLG51bGwsIjY0IixbWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEwNi4wLjUyNDkuMTE5Il0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTA2LjAuNTI0OS4xMTkiXSxbIk5vdDtBPUJyYW5kIiwiOTkuMC4wLjAiXV0sZmFsc2Vd&dt=1666877020469&bpp=1&bdt=1659&idt=1&shv=r20221025&mjsv=m202210180101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dc16dd66c7ea556ff-22c0187311d400d6%3AT%3D1656407321%3ART%3D1656407321%3AS%3DALNI_MbZV_Ilx23V3ARXkjuv_LfmtBv7fQ&gpic=UID%3D000009d34f468bb2%3AT%3D1663776528%3ART%3D1666876938%3AS%3DALNI_MYD1CUvxhTz9abJ62JCr45zfR8V7w&prev_fmts=0x0%2C1200x280&nras=3&correlator=3773319560610&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1606887417.1631528949&ga_sid=1666877020&ga_hid=31042352&ga_fc=1&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_h=864&u_w=1536&u_ah=816&u_aw=1536&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=8&adx=350&ady=2404&biw=1899&bih=932&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759842%2C44767668%2C42531706%2C44775017&oid=2&pvsid=912460671715233&tmod=608832439&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fthinkwildlifefoundation.com%2Fblog%2Fpage%2F6%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1920%2C932&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=YUN7zB3lEY&p=https%3A//thinkwildlifefoundation.com&dtd=3450

An example of structural mitigation measure for railway lines is the Chittagong- Cox’s bazaar railway in Bangladesh (3). Along three different PAs, overpasses along with fences have been constructed for safe crossing of wild animals (3).

Other Examples of Structural Mitigation

In case of electric power lines passing through wildlife habitat, the structural solution is making them underground. Avoiding construction of power lines in crucial wildlife habitat will be the best solution, however, retrofitting of existing overhead power lines with bird diverters depending upon the voltage (2), will help in reducing bird mortality.

Other structural measures like natural canopy connectivity and crossing nets for arboreal species and culverts for small animal species like reptiles, small mammals etc. ensures habitat connectivity for all taxa.

Non Structural Mitigation

Non- Structural mitigation measures are early warning systems that help in determining the presence of any species along roads, railways etc. (1). Animal detection system using lidar, radar or microwaves can be used to alert trains in the vicinity to avoid collision (1). Also, the animal can be alerted of an incoming train by using flash systems depending upon the target species (1).

A company in Bhutan developed a passive sensor that detects animal movement and triggers sound and light system to deter elephants (3). Seismic sensors are developed along the railway tracks of Rajaji National Park to detect elephants and alert train drivers (3). In the Lumding Reserve Forest of Assam, warning signs and speed bumps in critical movement areas of elephants have been established. (3) Along with construction of underpasses; their maintenance is equally important. Some of the ways include- By levelling/merging them the surroundings, plantation of shrubs/grasses and daily patrolling by forest guards, close approach to the main highway for common people by plantation of thorny bushes (eg. Zizyphus), weekly cleaning of the underpasses etc. (5).https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-5018714880587597&output=html&h=280&adk=1806198667&adf=3736376298&pi=t.aa~a.4248256546~i.35~rp.4&w=1200&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1666877023&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=8184356145&ad_type=text_image&format=1200x280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fthinkwildlifefoundation.com%2Fwhat-are-some-solutions-to-roadkill%2F&host=ca-host-pub-2644536267352236&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=1200&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTQuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTA2LjAuNTI0OS4xMTkiLFtdLGZhbHNlLG51bGwsIjY0IixbWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEwNi4wLjUyNDkuMTE5Il0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTA2LjAuNTI0OS4xMTkiXSxbIk5vdDtBPUJyYW5kIiwiOTkuMC4wLjAiXV0sZmFsc2Vd&dt=1666877020472&bpp=1&bdt=1661&idt=0&shv=r20221025&mjsv=m202210180101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dc16dd66c7ea556ff-22c0187311d400d6%3AT%3D1656407321%3ART%3D1656407321%3AS%3DALNI_MbZV_Ilx23V3ARXkjuv_LfmtBv7fQ&gpic=UID%3D000009d34f468bb2%3AT%3D1663776528%3ART%3D1666876938%3AS%3DALNI_MYD1CUvxhTz9abJ62JCr45zfR8V7w&prev_fmts=0x0%2C1200x280%2C1200x280&nras=4&correlator=3773319560610&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1606887417.1631528949&ga_sid=1666877020&ga_hid=31042352&ga_fc=1&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_h=864&u_w=1536&u_ah=816&u_aw=1536&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=8&adx=350&ady=3439&biw=1899&bih=932&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759842%2C44767668%2C42531706%2C44775017&oid=2&pvsid=912460671715233&tmod=608832439&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fthinkwildlifefoundation.com%2Fblog%2Fpage%2F6%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1920%2C932&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=RPPNm3Txsl&p=https%3A//thinkwildlifefoundation.com&dtd=3473

Also, signboards indicating the presence of wild animals need to be erected for people to know about the presence of wild species so that they can act accordingly. A maximum of 2-3 colors (preferably only green and black), with silhouettes of representative animals and minimal text can be used on these boards to increase its visibility. Reflective material (radium) may be used (3).

Extensive Research required before adding Mitigation Structures

Sign Surveys (7): To identify specific animal crossing zones; sign surveys include determining animal signs like pellets, scats, pug/ hoof marks or even direct animal sighting (7). This is then mapped using GIS to determine areas frequented by wild animals.

Identification of hotspots of animal deaths (7): This includes determining the number of roadkill along with evaluation of road visibility and animal detection ability of the driver (7).

Vehicular speed (7): Determining vehicular speed along with traffic heterogeneity and volume is important for understanding the barrier effect (reduction of animal movements across roads due to traffic, noise, pollution, human activities and physical barriers like fences.) (7)

Designing of wildlife crossings suitable for the animal species in the landscape (7): Based on roadkill data, GIS based movement model, capture- mark- recapture, genetic sampling, adjacent land- use etc. best locations for wildlife crossing structures is determined (7).

Camera trapping: One of the most efficient methods for monitoring of wildlife passes and data collection.

Linear infrastructure like canals and pipelines act as source of pollution and favors the spread of invasive species. They also reduce connectivity between populations of wild species. Hence, proper mitigation measures are needed during their establishment.

Biodiversity loss is now globally recognized to be a major threat to the world. With the current rate of linear infrastructure buildup, we need to ensure that this doesn’t gets exacerbated. It is the collaboration wildlife scientists, engineers, architects, politicians and the citizens that we can ensure that mitigation measures are developed and most importantly maintained for all of us- humans and the wild species to survive in the long run. We have to ensure that we limit how much habitat fragmentation linear infrastructure causes. This is critical as habitat fragmentation catalyses the spread of invasive species.

My application for The Underpass, a roleplay hosted by @fireflythenightlight (and which I found through my dear friend @validwofjobs). Legacy is a mostly-human, slightly-pheonix girl who loves planning ahead, making new friends, and her two identical pet giant geckos, Lychee the pet leachie and Guinep the familiar leachie-salamander. The rest about her can be found in these incoming walls of text under the cut!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstory-

Legacy grew up with an older and younger sister, the treasured “only son” of her parents, especially her father. Her name, before she realized she wasn’t a boy and chose a new name for herself, was Terrence. Her family lived in an apartment above a pet reptile store, run by her father. She got her familiar, Guinep, as well as her beloved pet, Lychee, when she was 8. She bonded with Guinep especially as her familiar, but the identical Lychee received plenty of love too, and in the first few years she had trouble telling apart the identical and closely bonded New Caledonian Giant Geckos by anything other than their temperament- Guinep was very calm, but Lychee tended to be a lot more snappish. Lychee followed Guinep’s lead in warming up to Legacy quickly, but remains a little aggressive towards strangers.

Legacy was almost 15 when she finally admitted to herself that she didn’t think she was really a boy, after two years of suppressing and refusing to believe her own feelings. She began to grow her hair out, and stared longingly at the girl’s section of stores, but didn’t dare to expose her identity to her parents, whose reactions she couldn’t predict in the slightest. After about a year and a half of planning and psyching herself up, she finally had the guts to come out to her parents. The fallout didn’t come to the extremes she’d read many a horror story of online, of physical abuse or conversion therapy, but her parents still refused to acknowledge her preferred pronouns or name, and began to threaten homeschooling her, to keep “their only son” away from “the influence of those queer friends of yours.” She refused to be homeschooled, and her parents responded that, if she insisted on this, then they wouldn’t be paying college tuition for a daughter they didn’t have. Upset to say the least, she haphazardly packed the belongings she thought of first and could fit in her backpack, and left. It was the largest decision she had made in her life, and it was completely unplanned.

Her grandma on her mother’s side lived in a small house halfway across the city, and Legacy hoped her parents hadn’t shared the news with her about her identity, because she couldn’t think of anywhere else to go. It came as a surprise not that her grandmother knew, but she actually accepted Legacy, scoffing and asking her to “give me your real name, girl” when she introduced herself grudgingly as Terrence. For the next few months, she lived there happily, upset about some of the belongings she had forgotten to bring but definitely not willing to go back to her parents, who didn’t bother to come find her (after her grandmother had sternly told them over the phone not to come unless they were going to treat their daughter right). Her grandmother bought her real girl’s clothes, and even helped her dye her hair a bright shade of bubblegum pink she’d had her eyes on for months. She finished highschool a semester early, something she had already been planning to do since before coming out. Her grandmother, unfortunately, was starting to decline in her old age. She was in stage 4 of Alzheimer’s disease, beginning to get to stage 5, when she was finally deemed no longer able to care for herself and was placed in an elderly person’s home to be cared for. By that summer, Legacy was back on the streets, preferring them against going back to her parents.

She took a job as the sole member of the “Maintenance Crew” of a cafe/coffee shop in a slightly busier part of the city in order to pay for her own living necessities and her leachie’s. From age 17 to the start of rp, Legacy worked there, cleaning up spills, keeping tabs of what sanitary supplies needed restocking, and keeping the rest of the shop sanitary. She made use of the keys she had to the shop, coming in before dawn, and definitely before opening hours, to clean the shop and then to clean herself, and fix her hair to look presentable. On particularly cold nights, she would spend the night there, more to keep her beloved pets warm than for any other reason. Though her high body temperature was usually enough to keep herself and the leachies warm, she didn’t want to risk any of them getting sick on especially stormy or windy winter nights. Most nights, she would instead find a friend happy to lend a couch for the night, or a fellow homeless person she trusted enough to watch her back while she slept next to, for safety reasons.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personality-

Legacy is a generally cautious and consistent person. She sticks to her daily routine and her plans rather than acting spontaneously without thought. Unexpected changes and surprises are strongly disliked, because she hates being unprepared for something and sometimes has trouble dealing with surprise changes to her own plans because of that. Besides not being a big fan of practical jokes, she tries not to act outwardly uptight or prissy in social situations, even if her careful organization, tidiness and plans may make her seem like it. Most people wouldn’t pinpoint her as a homeless kid if they saw her, because she dedicates a considerable amount of time and money to making herself look very clean and neat. Half of the backpack she wears is filled with two other outfits, which she mixes-and-matches often. When she feels like a fashion change is in order, she’ll donate some clothes and buy new replacements for them at a local clothing exchange store.

Her careful and well-put-together nature stems from a deep fear of making mistakes. Legacy hates the thought that she might make some mistake, do something wrong that could ruin her life as it is now, or change it beyond recognition (even if the change was for the better). So instead, she chooses inactivity. Though she could probably find a permanent place to live if she got a second job and saved carefully, she doesn’t, and instead spends most of her paycheck on unnecessary things like new clothes when she no longer needs it to buy food and water for her and her pets. She waited and planned for over a year to come out to her parents, and it still didn’t end well, so now she just tries to avoid taking any risks like that again (besides hiding her gender- she’s definitely done doing that. She presents as female and uses her real, chosen name. Most people don’t even realize she wasn’t born a girl). Legacy prefers to be a follower in social situations, rather than a leader. That way, she’s less likely to take the brunt of the consequences if a wrong decision is made. Safer. She prefers being safe, and right now her routine and life is safe and predictable, so she doesn’t see a need to change it or plan to end up anywhere else in her life.

Her caution about life decisions and other areas doesn’t quite extend to the social side of her life, however. Legacy’s a people person and a definite extrovert. She likes to surround herself with new friends at any chance she gets, and has a great memory for faces and personal details. Since middle school, she hasn’t forgotten a friend’s birthday or favorite color. Stranger’s opinions generally don’t have the power to change your whole life around, so with that low-risk assessment of friendship Legacy goes at making friends with a sort of wild abandon. Her charisma isn’t exactly impressive, but that doesn’t matter when she can just walk away and try again with someone else if the first person doesn’t seem to like her all that much. Even though she could listen to details about a person she barely knows for hours, and loves to learn new details about anyone, she’s dismissive of people’s opinions, especially if they’re about her. Few people have ever managed to become such an ingrained part of Legacy’s life as to earn the title of “Friend I actually care about and will make an effort not to lose.” Legacy shows up at many a party, flitting between groups for a while usually before finding someone she likes enough to hang out with for the rest of the night or couch-crash with, but refuses to get any farther than slightly tipsy even if the drinks are free. Being drunk is far too risky a thing for her to ever have attempted, even as tempting as it sometimes was. Party-going and friend-making are a few items on the short list of things she rarely, if ever, plans for.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra Facts™-

-She is, by a small percentage, a Phoenix hybrid (1/8th, or 12.5 percent to be precise) by her great-grandmother on her mother’s mother’s side. She doesn’t have the identifying wings because of her lack of more phoenix-hybrid ancestors, but does have the noticeably higher body temperature and small flame-producing ability. She doesn’t have a ton of control over the flames, and they’re likely to appear, purposefully or not, when she’s feeling strong emotions.

-her favorite color is, by far, pink. Second is light green.

-Partially because of favorite-color influence, partially because of its sweet flavor, her favorite food is watermelon.

-She isn’t a vegetarian, but she generally doesn’t like meat very much.

-She wishes she had the spare money to afford an instrument. Legacy used to play the flute in her middle school band, and loved it, but she left it behind in her parent’s house.

-Lawful neutral

-She’s a Libra (her birthday is September 28th)

Here’s my application for @fireflythenightlight‘s rp: The Underpass! Meet Leonas (Leo), your local changeling punk with a penchant for making potato-based foods, partying too hard, and making questionable life choices.

Big big shoutout to @wofuckery for drawing their reference, full ref and personality below the backstory and the cut ^^

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wrote this at 2am so like,,, bear with me lol

Leonas grew up mostly sheltered from other people for most of their childhood. With an overly-protective and very distrustful family considering of their mom, dad, and 3 siblings, most of their education was home-schooling (read: being turned loose with a bunch of books) and sparse meet-ups to see other, pre-approved families and their children. With their family being well-off and with enough books and entertainment to go around, Leo’s early life was comfortable, if isolated and slightly boring.

As they got older, they began to get restless about being cloistered away, getting more and more annoyed and bored. After a good year of campaigning and pleading, at the age of 16 they were switched to public high school, much to their parent’s reluctant agreement. It was a good mixture of overwhelming and exciting for them, being able to be around other people and actually explore their personality/identity. They were unused to the deadlines and actual work though, and even as they got to making new friends and going to new places, their actual academic performance slipped, their grades and attendance sinking further and further.

Leo was having the time of their life, but their parent’s got more and more frustrated and mad. With them barely passing their sophomore year, their parents gave them an ultimatum for junior year: Do this year better, or get put back into home-school for the forseeable future. If this was meant to incentivize them to get good grades, all it did was push Leo further towards resenting their parents for keeping them away from the rest of the world/micromanage their childhood. During this time, they also started getting more popular, learned bass guitar (badly), put a word to their gender (non-binary), and started spending more time sneaking into bars, and clubs, partying, and generally just becoming a complete hedonist and having a good time. They made it barely through junior year, and their parents were absolutely pissed.

After a summer of yelling and arguments and sneaking out, their parents tried to force them back into their isolated property, the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Grabbing their clothes, a sleeping bad, their familiar and a few precious items, Leo took off to their friend’s house.

After that, it was basically a slow sliding decline through senior year, until, finally out of high school, they began to try to make their way in the world. Crashing from friend’s house to acquaintance’s floor to comfortable alleyway to club bathroom back to friend’s house, they continue to make their way through the world, working odd jobs and cooking potatoes. Whether or not this is their best life remains up for debate, but they can’t really think of any better way to spend their time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BONUS PERSONALITY + FULL REF + TIDBITS UNDERNEATH THE CUT

Their familiar is a phoenix in the shape of a large, slightly fat blue-jay, lovingly named Gnocchi

They are a genius with potato-based recipes, and absolutely no other part of cooking or baking (the one exception is popcorn)

Growing up primarily around other changelings has made them extremely casual about shapeshifting: when they’re bored, they’ll often “pull” fingers out of the flesh on their hand and squish them back down, or mess around with their face/eyes

They have a natural aptitude for picking up small skills, things like origami or braiding, and have very good muscle memory: one they learn the actions of something, they rarely forget it.

They draw and sculpt for fun, sculpting especially!! It’s not uncommon to see them fidgeting with a mound of clay in their hands, making little pinch pots when they’re nervous. Both those, and the braids are things they sell to make spare money

PERSONALITY THUS FAR:

At first, people are inclined to assume Leonas is more of the introverted type. With a calm way of speaking and a laid-back, relaxed attitude, they tend to exude a warm, friendly, and welcoming energy, a vibe that is, for the most part, well-earned. Leo is relatively open-minded, they tend to wait before passing judgement on a person completely, and are always ready to make new friends. One of their biggest talents is being social: Leo has learned how to switch from zen best friend to loud fun party animal effortlessly, and both versions of themself bring them joy. They’re energetic in a way that isn’t overpowering or annoying, and relaxed in a way that doesn’t come off as dismissive or spacey. They always hold a space for their friends, and while maybe not the best advice-giver, are exactly the right person to go to if you want to watch some television and cuddle and maybe cry and rant a little bit.

That said, Leonas is a lot of talk without much show, while they’ll follow through a bet any day, actually finishing a chore, cleaning their space, or holding down a steady job elude them. They work in spotty bursts of motivation, creating interesting art and creations but that they can never follow up on or recreate again. Leo is intensely stubborn to the point of denial: if they don’t want to believe something, they will twist facts, intentionally forget critical details, and generally do everything in their power to feel like they are in the right. It takes them a long time to get their mind completely made up, but when they do, trying to change it is like trying to clean away the sand in a desert. They’re garbage at apologies as a result, as nothing is completely their fault in their head. Either their apologies are just them trying to get the person off their back, or something like “I’m sorry you feel that way” that refuses to take responsibility for what happened.

Leo cannot be in the wrong. They refuse to be proven wrong, to be shown that they made an error or at all need to correct what they’re doing. Leo’s entire sense of self and identity is pinned on being right, on never being incorrect one. The idea that they could mess up, that they could’ve made the wrong choice, terrifies them to their core. They’re acutely aware of their own mortality and limited time on this earth, and the idea they could’ve wasted it or missed an opportunity is too terrible to ever indulge. This intersects terribly with substances, Leo may not have an addictive personality, but their refusal to admit when they’ve drunken too much, or that they feel sick or gross, leads to them pushing their limits to an unhealthy amount. While not a fully fledged alcoholic, their lifestyle certainly isn’t doing wonders for their liver. They have no self-preservation instinct, no understanding of when to back off and relax, and it continues to come back and bite them in the ass time and time again.

APPEARANCE:

description:

Leonas has choppy, thick, wavy black hair reaching down just below their chin, usually tied up into a small little ponytail. They have pale skin with a smattering of freckles across their cheeks, ears, and shoulders, and a round face and slightly chubby cheeks. Their body is on the shorter and chubbier side (endomorph body type) and their body shape is relatively square/rectangular, with semi muscular/thick arms/legs. Their fashion sense is basically camp counselor kidnapped by a punk band, and their default outfit is a black jean vest with a handful of colorful pins/patches, a thick/long red/pink/orange tacky knitted scarf, a rainbow tye-dye shirt, and jean shorts with sturdy black, slightly scuffed combat boots.

reference (by @wofuckery):

Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom, hope you love them like I do !!!! I’m so excited for this roleplay, you have no idea. I hope to see forms from all of you too !!!

Heyo! Here’s my charcter applicate for @fireflythenightlight ‘s Underpass Rp!

I’m Anna, I’m turing 16 in 3 months so I fit within the grace period given.

My character is a human, gryphon hybrid named Vielliot, she has a Woomie named Chester( I have owned rodents in the past). Vielliot was born in London to a pretty harsh houshold. She was often at her grandmother’s home as she didn’t have the best relationship with her parents. Her grandma taught her how to crochet, knit, and sew, skills that Ellie uses to make dolls and clothing to sell. Her gandma even helped her bond with her familar Chester. She had a wonderful relationship with her grandmother, but that changed when she passed away when Vielliot was 16. Since then she’s been staying at her parents and locking herself away in her room. To cope she made a lot of dolls to sell. Her parents told her to get an actual job if she was gonna stay in their house. She refused, and that was final straw for them. Her parents kicked her out as soon as she turned 18. She took her saved up money she made from crafting and somehow ended up in Salem after a year of being homeless and on the road. She has developed anger issues from this experience and used crafting as a way to cope. She can get a little creepy when it comes to her doll making though. She has a hardened shell, but has a soft and old soul within.

Application for @fireflythenightlight’s Underpass RP!

Here is Shaw, the lesbian herself!

Backstory: Shaw is a changeling with mixed familiar ancestry. Her familiar is a little dragon named Runestone, and her pet is black leopard griphon named Rugius (from the Latin rugiet, meaning roar). As a child, she was mostly able to hide her familiar features from her parents, but it became more difficult as she grew older, which eventually lead to her purist changeling parents kicking her out. She traveled around a lot on Rugius, and her familiar ancestry led to her attracting local animals that would occasionally help find food or hunt. Shaw ended up in Salem around a year ago, and spends a lot of time helping out at animal shelters, which the staff there aren’t entirely sure what to do with. When she has the money or finds scraps, she makes little trinkets to sell for extra cash.

Physical: Shaw has a rather athletic build. She has dark, short hair, and dark grey ears and horns. She also has dark blue dragon wings with scales that can flex open and closed depending on her mood. Shaw has a tail, usually appearing as a dragon tail or a long cat tail when she lets it be visible. She wears a lot of athletic and practical clothing, and patches them up for years before getting new ones.

Personality: Extremely guarded. Often connects better with animals than most people she meets, though if you break into her shell she’ll protect you to the death. Very loyal.

Special thanks to @wofuckery for designing Shaw!

Time To Vibe Gamers @fireflythenightlight I’ve got the lass for Underpass

Briana was born in Brewster, Massachusetts, as an only child with a love of photography and the like. She’s had Sibyl, the family (and now independent) familiar, since she was nine. Briana had a fairly normal childhood, and graduated out of Brewster High with a focus on photography.

Briana has had a bit of a checkered young adulthood. She started perfectly strong, getting into the college of her dreams in New York to pursue her goals in photojournalism, but while there she ended up in a rather toxic and abusive relationship with her roommate, a self-important changeling that forever changed Briana’s views on love. This now ex-girlfriend plunged Briana into a sort of romantic purge. She doesn’t try to love anymore, at least not to the caliber she was before the breakup. It started to affect her college career, so she dropped out and moved back home for a while, much to the simultaneous concern and chagrin of her parents. She was just recently persuaded to start working towards her dreams again, and so she moved into Salem and is in the process of beginning freelance photojournalism work for the local papers. Briana is still healing from her time in college, and she’s become remarkably abrasive to all those around her. Overall, a tough nut to crack. But perhaps someone will get to her.

At the start, Briana will be rude, and seem to only trust those who prove to her that they have a reason to help her. She doesn’t trust “out of the goodness of your heart”-type folks. A skeptic, if you will. But, if you’re pleasant to her and to Sibyl long enough, she might start to warm up to you again.

✧｡ jeong yunho. twenty three. male. ｡✧ is that SPENCER MOON living at THE LINKS in APARTMENT 202? i heard the ART TEACHER has lived there for FIVE YEARS now. every time you pass by you can hear TONGUE TIED by FABER DRIVE playing. maybe they play it because they’re friends would say they’re the STARRY EYED. it could just me assuming things. even if they would say they are GENEROUS and AFFABLE that doesn’t mean they can’t be PASSIVE or GULLIBLE let’s just stop by and ask them sometime. considering they’d describe themselves as midnight walks and fresh brewed coffee when you can’t sleep, figuring which of your favorite books you want to reread, and paint spattered hands that’s if they’ll actually answer the door. good luck. (ooc: hera, she/her, 26, gmt-6.)

hi loves! i'm sorry i'm here so late, i had to work today and only recently got off! besides that, i'm so excited to be here because it's been a hot dang minute since i've been in an rp, but i'm excited to be with you all nonetheless! until then, i'll be putting a bit below about this lil bean <3

name: moon haneul / 문하늘 / spencer moon nicknames: spence, age: twenty-three dob: 06/30/97 zodiac: cancer sexuality: heterosexual occupation: art teacher [[TW: desertion & homelessness ]]

spencer was born as the oldest child of five children, two younger brothers, and two younger twin sisters. being the eldest, responsibility always fell on his shoulders, which he didn't really mind for the longest time, and for some time he felt proud to take the responsibility of his younger siblings.

his parents working full time only seemed to heavy the load on the boy's shoulders, his growing siblings (and brothers specifically) becoming more and more rebellious. at first, he tried to do the 'authorative brother' thing and help them out, but it only got worse and worse.

his parents' approach was to move their children's schools when things got bad enough, but after the fourth move in two years, spencer had had enough and stood up to his parents, expressing how much he hated being moved around, and that it was hard to have to make friends and plant roots over and over again, only to lose them.

he thought that since he was always a reserved kid, never second guessing or back talking his parents, that they'd at least hear him out. but he was quickly proven wrong, both parents berating him for how ungrateful he was and how at least his younger brothers were thankful for what they had, despite their abhorrent behavior. they ripped into him for what he could've sworn was hours, and when they were done, the boy was left speechless.

by speechless literally meaning that he didn't speak to his family for days, ultimately packing up a backpack the night before their scheduled big move (out of state this time, specifically) to sneak out to a friends house and stay for the night.

of course, he woke up to a flurry of missed calls and messages, his mother, father, and siblings all sounding furious, and he knew it wasn't something he should've done, but he was nothing short of absolutely shocked when finding his house empty, his family indeed leaving before he had came back home.

spence stayed there for a few nights, living out of what he'd packed from his backpack, to wait and see if they'd come back for him, but after a week had passed, then two, he'd lost any hope that may had been left.

for a few months, the at the time sixteen year old would sleep wherever he could, whether that be friend's couches or even an underpass or two, before he was able to land a job at a bakery that was within in his normal path. it was owned by a sweet old lady that he tended to smile extra bright at everytime he walked into her shop. he was able to disguise his living situation majority of the time, but soon enough the woman found out and was kind enough to let him stay in her guest room.

he lived there until he turned eighteen and could rent an apartment on his own, and stayed at that job while he went to school. he didn't end up leaving the job until after graduating college, but he still stops by the bakery frequently.

nowadays he's an art teacher and loves it to pieces. it may not be the best paying job, but that's when he also does art on the side to earn some extra cash.

personality~

he is SUPER friendly tbh. he never meets a stranger and will easily talk your ear off if you allow him.

he loves any and all kinds of art, be it paintings or sculptures, plays, music, books, movies...you name it and he'll easily admire it.

on the topic of admiring, boy is a BIG hopeless romantic! he's got a big weak spot for romcoms/full out romance movies because he loves any and all kind of love stories. if he's in a relationship, he put his entire soul into it, be that little notes or random visits or monthly flowers...anything that he can shower his significant other with affection.

a magnificent cook. he kinda had to learn how to take care of himself as a whole once his family left, and the grandma he lived with cooked for him on the daily. after so long he asked if he could help and learned how to make a variation of different delicious foods.

he will do anything for those he cares about. need him to cover your lunch? sure. need a ride or someone to walk home with because you drank too much? of course. bought a bookshelf and didn’t realize it wasn’t assembled and now need help with it? he’s your guy. just ask him and he’ll likely be there in an instant.

possible connections??

the grandchild of the grandma he stayed with, because after them having seen him a few times at her house, they’d probably be a little confused before learning the whole situation. this could have evolved into a close friendship or even a relationship??

i’d absolutely love a best friend he’s known since he was with his family! maybe even they could’ve let him stay with them while he didn’t have a place to live for a bit? also would lowkey love if they had a stupid bromance like the boys from this movie (x) (x)

a midnight walking buddy, because he has many many sleepless nights and his remedy is to stroll along the city, and he’d be happy to have a friend to talk to while he does so

i’m gonna ask shamelessly, but i’d honestly love like an unknown baby mama for like, y’know, drama 👀👀👀 also bc i’m a sucker for parent plots. but like maybe it could’ve been an ex that unintentionally got knocked up and felt like he wasn’t put together enough to have a kid, so she never told him and tries raising it on her own? granted if or when he were to find out he’d 1000% want to be there, but them trying to figure out each other still would be fun

former & current coworkers! someone who may’ve worked with him at the bakery, or may even a frequent? and someone who works with him at his school, or even a student teacher or so. they could be someone he meets up with for lunch every now and then and talk (one taken, but could have more also if applicable!)

i’d love to have his siblings (granted that may more of a wanted connection on the main, but i digress) but they’d range from probably like 18 to 22!

and literally anything else?? ex girlfriends/hookups (which he’s not usually the type for a hookup, and would prefer a relationship, but we all know how alcohol can get sometimes akdsjf) former roommates, a bad influence?? he’s totally open for options! :D

i apologize for this being so long >.< once again i look forward to talking with all of you and like this if you’d like me to come to you <3

Eco Bridge untuk Hewan

Sedikit cerita apa yang ada di pikiran. Waktu itu tanggal 1 Januari 2019 sama Bapak Ibu nganter adek ngecek kosan di Pekalongan karena mau Kerja Praktek disana. Kebetulan banget tol transjawa baru banget dibuka, akhirnya kita nyobain deh tol itu. Katanya Semarang - Pekalongan cuma 1 jam, dan emang beneran 1 jam. Pemandangan lumayan lah, tapi ga sebagus tol Salatiga. Ada pemandangan juga yang sebenernya aku ga suka banget ngeliatnya, hewan mati kelindes di jalan. 3 kucing dan 1 hewan lumayan besar, kemungkinan anjing.

Karena pengalaman ini jadi keinget satu video kayanya sih di Natgeo tentang jembatan penyeberangan buat hewan. Lokasinya di Singapura, Eco-link@BKE nama jembatannya. Jembatan ekologi ini merupakan sebuah usaha pemerintah Singapura buat menghubungkan 2 cagar alam yang terpisah karena adanya jalan tol, Bukit Timah dan Central Catchment. Selesai dibangun tahun 2013. Kemudian mikir, bisa ga ya dibangun jembatan kaya gini di Indonesia?

Jadi... dengan adanya jembatan ini hewan hewan bisa dengan aman berpindah ke seberang buat berkembang biak dan cari makan. Tapi apakah jembatan ini berhasil? Seberapa efektif sih jembatan ini? Mengingat biaya pembangunannya yang ga murah, S$ 12.3 Juta. Kalo dirupiahkan sekarang jadi Rp 127.7 Milyar, cuma buat satu jembatan. Buat hewan pula.

Pertama, kita harus liat dulu cara bangun jembatan ini. Pastinya ga sekedar jembatan yg ditanemin ijo-ijo kan. Ada 3 tahap, tahap pertama menyediakan media tanam buat pohon dan semak belukar endemik. Tahap kedua, menanam tropical rainforest plants. Disini fungsinya buat menciptakan suasana hutan buat hewan di sekitar jembatan. Tahap ketiga, penanaman sistematis seiring dengan bertumbuhnya tanaman. Contoh, menanam buah buahan liar buat makanan burung jadi mereka mau pake jembatannya. Menanam pohon yang bisa tumbuh tinggi dan punya kanopi buat nyeberang para monyet. Jadi tahap tahap ini sebenernya ditujukan untuk membuat hutan hujan buatan jadi menarik hewan untuk nyeberang jembatan.

Apakah jembatan ini berhasil? Hebatnya, iya. Hewan hewan berhasil nemuin jembatan selebar 50 meter ini. Beberapa hewan yg berhasil tertangkap kamera waktu nyeberang ada trenggiling, tupai, musang, dan burung dara, bahkan kelelawar. Tercatat sejak April 2015 - Oktober 2015 ga ada trenggiling mati di jalan. Setiap bulan sejak Oktober 2014 - Desember 2015 paling ga ada satu trenggiling yang pake jembatan ini buat nyeberang.

Trenggiling

Musang

Tupai

Monyet

Bahkan sekarang jembatan ini dibuka buat orang orang yang mau research, dibuka juga buat umum tapi terbatas, dan harus dengan pemandu. Menarik ya, jadi destinasi wisata tersendiri. Tapi tentunya kalo buat manusia jalurnya beda, pake tepi jembatan sementara hewan lewat di tengah. Kalo manusia ikut masuk nanti hewan hewan pada gamau nyeberang karena ada bau manusia. Btw jembatan ini dibatasi pagar listrik, buat ngehalau babi hutan yg bisa merusak ekosistem di jembatan.

Selain di Singapura, banyak Eco Bridge lainnya yg terbukti berhasil.

Christmas Island, Australia

Jembatan penyeberangan khusus buat Kepiting Merah yg bermigrasi buat berkembang biak. Tiap tahunnya bisa mencapai 120 juta kepiting. Dulu sebelum ada jembatan ini, sekitar 500 ribu kepiting mati di jalan tiap musim kawin.

Banff National Park, Kanada

Taman nasional ini punya 44 penyeberangan hewan, 6 overpass dan 38 underpass. Tercatat udah ada beruang, serigala, coyote, cougar, dan rusa yang nyeberang.

Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo, Belanda

Eco bridge terpanjang di dunia, 800 meter melewati jalan raya, rel kereta api, pabrik dan kompleks olahraga.

Victoria, Australia

Jembatan penyeberangan buat tupai yg terancam punah. Tapi yang tertangkap kamera burung kakak tua.

Jepang

Turtle tunnel buat... kura - kura. Underpass sesimpel itu bisa menyelamatkan banyak kura - kura.

Banyak lagi contoh eco bridge di luar sana, tapi ternyata di tumblr cuma boleh ngepost 10 foto. Kalo ga ada gambarnya kan ga asik ya...

Jadi... apakah di Indonesia bisa diterapkan? Tentunya bisa, meskipun belum diterapkan. Bisa dibangun di jalan Trans Sumatera mungkin? Yang jalannya membelah hutan. Kalo diterapkan di Tol Transjawa? Bisa juga dong. Meskipun setahu saya ga membelah hutan hujan, tapi tetep membelah lahan sawah sampe bukit bukit. Sempat sharing sama dosen kalo ternyata mau dibangun eco bridge di Papua oleh Green Peace, tapi belom nemu beritanya sampe sekarang.

Membuat jembatan penyeberangan atau underpass yang sederhana pun juga gapapa, ga harus yang kaya di Singapura yang mungkin bakal diprotes rakyat karena terlalu mahal anggarannya. Boleh sih membangun infrastruktur kaya jalan tol dari ujung ke ujung, bagus malah. Tapi selama ini yang dipikirkan cuma manusianya doang. Akhirnya hewan di sekitar infrastruktur inilah yang jadi korban. Hewan juga butuh infrastruktur.
