These special facilities guards migration routes between amphibian habitats. They allow animals to cross roads safely without being exposed to traffic hazards.

Necessity

Reptile safety on roads

Amphibians play a crucial role in the ecosystem by performing important functions in the natural balance. Their migration between different habitats helps maintain a healthy balance. Unfortunately, amphibian populations have declined steeply in recent years. The main reason for this is road traffic, to which these fascinating animals have fallen victim. They are exposed to traffic hazards, especially during their migration. Urgent action is needed to halt this trend. This is where amphibian protection systems come into play. These specialized installations guard migration routes between amphibian habitats. They allow animals to cross roads safely without being exposed to the dangers of traffic.

AMPHIGUARD MOBIL

Our mobile reptile and amphibian protection fence “Amphiguard mobile” provides reliable protection against animal mortality by preventing said animals from crossing the road during migration in cases when installation of a stationary herding device is not possible.
“Amphiguard mobile” also helps to reduce the extinction of species during all kinds of construction works.

Implementation

Easy assembly and efficient protection

Assembly is simple and efficient. Begin by unrolling the foil so that the tread runs towards the outer edge of the digging pit. Then insert the support rod through the bottom eyelets. The foil can then be easily stretched over the posts. The overhanging edges can be overlapped and securely attached by inserting two support rods.
If required, our experienced Blömen installation team is available to carry out the entire installation professionally. Reliable protection for amphibians – easy to install and versatile.
