Here we aimed to identify the main points of animal death by roadkill in the view of helping mitigation plans and reducing the impact over the local fauna of a protected area.  Materials and methods.  We surveyed the roads around a protected area of Cerrado (São Paulo, Brazil) from May 2012 to August 2013. We recorded the local of roadkills, biometric and morphologic data of the animals, and collected samples of tissue for molecular species confirmation.  Results. Thirty-one roadkilled animals were registered, including threatened species: Leopardus pardalis; Cuniculus paca and Chrysocyon brachyurus. Most roadkills were represented by mammals (54.8%) and reptiles (38.7%), and the mortality rate was 1.46 animals/km/year. Three roadkill hotspots were detected, suggesting that they were important points of animal crossing, probably because of the existence of natural remnant vegetation and intersection of roads by riparian vegetation.  Conclusions.  This work provided strong evidence of the most critical points where mitigation strategies should be immediately implemented and highlighted the importance of detecting roadkill hotspots and the species or taxonomic groups more affected, helping to elaborate effective actions that can improve fauna conservation.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN  Objetivo.  Identificar los principales puntos donde mueren animales para proponer planes de mitigación.  Materiales y métodos.  Se recorrieron las vías alrededor de una área protegida de Cerrado (São Paulo, Brasil) entre Mayo de 2012 y Agosto de 2013. Se registró el lugar del atropellamiento, datos biométricos y morfológicos de los animales y se colectaron muestras de tejido para la confirmación molecular de la especie.  Resultados.  Se registraron 31 animales atropellados (muertos), incluyendo especies amenazadas: Leopardus pardalis; Cuniculus paca y Chrysocyon brachyurus. La mayoría de los atropellamientos fueron representados por mamíferos (54.8%) y reptiles (38.7%) y la tasa de mortalidad fue de 1.46 animales/km/año. Fueron detectados tres hotspots de atropellamiento, sugiriendo que son puntos importantes en la probabilidad de cruce de animales, debido a un remanente de vegetación natural y la intercepción de la carretera con bosques de galería.  Conclusiones. Este trabajo proporciona fuerte evidencia de los puntos más críticos donde las estrategias de mitigación deben ser implementadas inmediatamente y resalta la importancia de detectar hotspots de atropellamiento, las especies y los grupos taxonómicos más afectados ayudando a elaborar acciones efectivas que pueden mejorar la conservación de la fauna.]]></p></abstract>
