The West Australian government claims wildlife crossings along a major highway have seen thousands of uses by endangered species, but skeptics question the data's reliability and report ongoing animal deaths.

• Government reports thousands of animal crossings using 19 rope bridges, 24 underpasses, and two land bridges along a major highway.
• Skeptics, including environmental groups and wildlife carers, question the data's adequacy and report ongoing animal deaths and trapping issues.
• Main Roads states that monitoring has exceeded expectations but has not yet released detailed data on specific structures or species.
