Has iNat changed your behavior or routine?

This is the answer I desired.What is being done after observing such unfortunate deaths?
I was curious because this is the first time I’ve read on this forum that someone is ‘stopping’ on a long tour for wild animal carcasses (though I know many other people do this too).
I am feeling very happy now to know that you have uploaded the pictures on an appropriate platform so that the spot can be identified by the appropriate forest/competent authority. I even see no harm in photographing and uploading pictures of the partially/mostly decomposed unfortunate roadkills that could have occurred quite a few days back. (In addition) May I request you to please stop for squirrels, raccoons or any other common creatures also which you may spot on your upcoming future trips? These will help the appropriate authorities to pin point the accident prone areas.
I live in a country where wild animals cross national highways/railway tracks very often.
Identifying such locations helps the authorities concerned to take necessary steps like installation of warning boards for Vehicle Drivers, imposing a strict speed limit on railway tracks, blocking/diverting roads at night wherever possible (The National Highway passing through Wayanad Bandipur Tiger Reserve (NH 212) along the Karnataka-Kerala border closes exactly at 9 p.m and reopens at 6 a.m), construction of dedicated underpasses for wildlife (Wildlife Corridor on NH 44 which passes through Kanha-Pench Corridor) considering all the pros and cons.
