A road passing through a forest almosts fragments the forest into two, causing road kills and also fragmenting the habitat. Each day hundreds of animals, thousands of insects and amphibians get killed on the road all over India. You can read up further on the study done on insect roadkills here and amphibian roadkills here. In monsoons the Blue Tiger butterflies (among other butterflies) fly from the cold/wet western ghats to the warmer plains, in the process having to cross main roads and meet their end
