Researchers at the University of Oxford have proposed the use of ultrasound-repellers as a potential solution to decrease hedgehog deaths caused by vehicles.
This innovative approach is based on findings published in the journal Biology Letters, which indicate that ultrasound can deter hedgehogs from approaching roadways.
The implications of this research could significantly impact wildlife conservation strategies, particularly in areas with high traffic and hedgehog populations.
