Serious efforts must be undertaken to ensure that the animals can cross to either side of the tracks without risking their lives. theSun theSundaily Railway ecrl AnimalCrossing wildlife Malaysia Opinion
there were reports in the media on the construction of culverts for animal crossings along the 665km East Coast Rail Link that will link Port Klang with Kota Bharu.
Overpass crossings are better, more inviting and less forbidding to the animals, especially elephants, tigers and leopards, seladang and others as the animals are able to feel that this is a continuation or a corridor to their habitat, and therefore will cross the animal bridge.They could be dark like tunnels and water could stagnate in them during the rainy spells.
It is already a major problem in India, where wildlife causes damage and destruction to agricultural and residential areas but the government’s compensation scheme has acted as a mitigating factor. The impact of the ECRL on the surrounding wildlife sanctuaries must be studied in detail and changes made before it is too late.
The trains are expected to travel at speeds of about 160km/h and train speeds need to be lowered in areas frequented by wildlife, especially at night.
