I'm looking to do analysis on wildlife roadkill on Taiwan's roads. I know that data has been collected from some of the national parks, but I can't seem to find who collected and from where it might be sourced or if the data is systematically collected every year.
Hi John,
if you manage to overcome the language barrier, a specific facebook page is available to which people upload their images and data on roadkills. It is part of a citizen science operation whose aim is to survey road kills in Taiwan:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/roadkilled/?fref=ts
If you email whoever manages the page perhaps you will get access to their database. Definitely worth trying.
Cheers
Danilo

Hi John and all,
The project mentioned by Danlico is Taiwan Roadkill Observation Network (http://roadkill.tw) which collects roadkilled animal observations from Facebook, and transforms the crowdsourced data to structured data for scientific purposes. You can browse all observation data from website, as well as download data via API. Enclosed some papers for your references.
I work in Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica. And you? Your work place seems to be same as me. Might be we can talk face-to-face.
