Cape Town has put up what are believed to be SA's first tunnels built especially for toads.

The two tunnels have been built near Zeekoevlei so that endangered western leopard toads can avoid being squashed by vehicles while crossing the road.

Three more tunnels are planned, and walls will be built to guide toads into them when they migrate towards the vlei during breeding season in August.

The Cape Town Environmental Education Trust, which is in charge of the “Western Cape leopard toad underpass project”, said it hoped other animals would also use the tunnels to cross the road safely.

“Five underpass tunnels are planned for installation along the road, with two tunnels (50m apart) being installed this season,” said the trust's species conservation manager, Louise Baldwin.

“During the breeding season we will monitor these tunnels to ascertain the number of toads utilising them and determine if there is a decrease in road mortalities in the area.”

The western leopard toad is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list and is found only in the Western Cape, where development is continually reducing its habitat.

“Within the last 20 years, the toad populations have undergone drastic declines from urban areas where they were once abundant,” said a trust statement.

That's a sane country there.

Exactly! I like that all small animals can use it too. My small nephew immediately thought of rats when he saw these pics.

This is lovely.

Animals have rights to live too.
