The Fauna Escape Hatch is a practical, research-backed solution that reduces wildlife-vehicle collisions and promotes biodiversity in urban development projects. Designed for seamless integration into infrastructure such as roads, railways, and construction sites, this eco-friendly, one-way gate provides safe passage for koalas and other ground-traversing species.
Developed in response to koala-vehicle collisions, these devices are designed to be retrofitted into existing fauna fencing and barriers. The FEH is tailored for species whose natural behaviour is to push through or under barriers, rather than climb over them. The independently moving tynes allow a variety of species—of all shapes and sizes—to pass through the one-way gate with ease, helping to prevent re-entry into dangerous areas.
Designed in Brisbane, Australia, its passive, low-maintenance design aligns with Australian government infrastructure standards, offering a simple yet powerful solution to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and ensure safer roads for both people and wildlife. Designed by Endeavour Veterinary Ecology, the FEH is a patent-pending wildlife mitigation solution backed by the expertise of EVE’s ecologists and wildlife mitigation specialists
By incorporating the Fauna Escape Hatch, developers can actively contribute to safer, more resilient urban landscapes that support wildlife connectivity. It is a valuable addition to projects committed to sustainable growth and ecological stewardship.
