  Wildlife-road kill is the death of wildlife resulting from collision with a moving vehicle. In protected areas, roads have a significant impact on natural environment including health of ecosystems. The most obvious direct effect of these impacts is evidenced by animal mortality on the road. Wildlife-road kill does not occur randomly along roads but are spatially clustered area because wildlife movements tend to be associated with specific habitats, terrain, and adjacent land use types. In an effort to understand these environmental factors and animal susceptible to road kill, this study was conducted in Banke National Park (BaNP), where frequent road accidents occur along East-West (EW) highway. Last 8 (2015-2022) years recorded road kill data (N=402) by BaNP office were used for this study, spatial and temporal data were generated from this data. Total 70.56 km length of EW highway ..
