Why download Urubu Mobile?

Every year more than 450 million wild animals are run over in Brazil, representing approximately 15 animals every second. Of this total, the vast majority are small animals, such as frogs, rodents and snakes, which are very important for the maintenance of larger species. However, there are also more than 40 million larger animals (jaguars, anteaters, dogs and wild cats, skunks and other species) that also die because we cross their natural environments with our vehicles. These impacts affect practically all species that live close to highways and railways, and can lead to several extinction.

After downloading the application, make a quick and ready registration, you are already our partner.

The Urubu System was born at the Brazilian Center for Road Ecology (CBEE), at the Federal University of Lavras - MG and today it is developed by Environment, a startup that works to reduce the impacts of highways and railways on Brazilian biodiversity.
