<p>Fewer wild animals, including threatened mountain lions, are becoming roadkill during shelter-in-place orders, finds a study on three states from the 不良研究所.</p>
<p>Using traffic and collision data collected from California, Idaho and Maine, the researchers found that wildlife-vehicle conflict has declined by 21 percent to 56 percent from early March to mid-April, following government stay-at-home orders.</p>June 25, 2020 - 1:50pmKatherine E Kerlin/climate/news/roadkill-declines-as-covid-19-continuesAs Americans Shelter in Place, Traffic, Emissions and Fuel-Tax Revenues Decline Dramatically

<p>Americans drove drastically less, saved millions of metric tons of greenhouse gases, and, in some states, lost millions in fuel-tax revenue since COVID-19 mitigation efforts took effect in early March.

<p>Traffic accidents and crash-related injuries and deaths were reduced by half during the first three weeks of California鈥檚 shelter-in-place order, which began March 20.
