Project Splatter is a research effort to quantify and map wildlife roadkill across the UK.
Project Splatter collates data member of the public send to us on the location of UK wildlife roadkill – birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. This research is run by members of the public – termed citizen scientists. Members of the public see wildlife roadkill and report to use where, when and what, giving as accurate a location as possible.
At Cardiff University we turn your sighting into a grid reference and then use GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to map where the roadkill is across the UK, which we then report back to our citizen scientists on Twitter and Facebook and on the Maps page on this site.
This app allows you to submit new sightings directly to Project Splatter!
