ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ON WILD FAUNA CAUSED BY ROADS AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MITIGATION MEASURES
This article aims toto present the environmental impacts on the wild fauna resulting from the roads, as well as the mitigating measures to minimize this problem. Road works, despite their indispensability, compromise the environment, often causing irreversible environmental impacts. Certainly, roads are critical to economic development. Its construction, however, like all anthropic action, causes numerous impacts to the environment, since it modifies the natural habitat of the fauna. Each new construction leads to human flow in previously uninhabited places, making that same habitat vulnerable and, consequently, possibly resulting in loss of species. Environmental impacts are, therefore, one of the most relevant factors regarding the loss of biodiversity worldwide. Thus, for there to be sustainable development, it is necessary to think of urgent measures for environmental preservation. In this vein, it is urgent to take mitigating measures that minimize environmental damage. Common solutions must be found, considering all risks and adapting ways of life to less impactful standards, using appropriate public policies for each case. , so that the economy and the environment can coexist harmoniously and proportionately, enabling sustainable development, so that the resources that are available today are not depleted. There must always be viable measures to protect the fauna, because we also depend on it. It is essential to adopt urgent measures to preserve the environment. Sustainable development is the path to our survival and that of future generations. The ecologically balanced environment is everyone's right, as provided in art. 225 of the Federal Constitution. In this way, it is also everyone's duty to promote environmental preservation.

Abstract:
This article aims toto present the environmental impacts on the wild fauna resulting from the roads, as well as the mitigating measures to minimize this problem. Road works, despite their indispensability, compromise the environment, often causing irreversible environmental impacts. Certainly, roads are critical to economic development. Its construction, however, like all anthropic action, causes numerous impacts to the environment, since it modifies the natural habitat of the fauna. Each new construction leads to human flow in previously uninhabited places, making that same habitat vulnerable and, consequently, possibly resulting in loss of species. Environmental impacts are, therefore, one of the most relevant factors regarding the loss of biodiversity worldwide. Thus, for there to be sustainable development, it is necessary to think of urgent measures for environmental preservation. In this vein, it is urgent to take mitigating measures that minimize environmental damage. Common solutions must be found, considering all risks and adapting ways of life to less impactful standards, using appropriate public policies for each case. , so that the economy and the environment can coexist harmoniously and proportionately, enabling sustainable development, so that the resources that are available today are not depleted. There must always be viable measures to protect the fauna, because we also depend on it. It is essential to adopt urgent measures to preserve the environment. Sustainable development is the path to our survival and that of future generations. The ecologically balanced environment is everyone's right, as provided in art. 225 of the Federal Constitution.
