STOPJEŽ is mainly a raising awareness project, therefore it is important to performe a successful promotion campaign. We present the project at different festivals and events such as Slovenian Science Festival. We prepared several promotional materials for public. We send them to different organizations that help us with promotion of the project by handing out our material. Several organizations already posted articles about our project and link to our website on their websites, web portals and social networks. Posters already hang on the walls of different institutions, for example inbuildings of Ljubljana Public Transport (Technical Examinations and Vehicle Type Approval) and Radio Capris. Besides that we hand out car stickers to drivers. They are available to you in our office. You can order them by phone (01 4293170) or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

List of organizations and web portals, helping us with promotion:

• Zavetišče Mala hiša 
• Društvo Žverca
• Društvo za pomoč živalim "POŽIV" Velenje with their branch Društvo Lučka Mozirje
• Društvo za zaščito živali Kočevje
• Društvo za zaščito živali Kranj (DZZŽ Kranj)
• Društvo za zaščito živali Jesenice
• Spletni portal Pes moj prijatelj
• Spletni portal Žverce

• Drevored.si

Since we are aware that the list is incomplete, we invite you to send us a link of your post to e-mail above. Thank you very much for all your help!

Through the project STOPJEŽ – Traffic and Animals Institute LUTRA wants to help other non-profit organizations that also work with the problem of animals in traffic. Therefore LUTRA employees joined actions, organized by Societas herpetologica slovenica – Society for the study of Amphibians and Reptiles (SHS) in frame of the project "Varstvo dvoživk na Večni poti (Protection of amphibians on Večna pot)". Amphibians are very vulnerable participants in the traffic. Due to their size they are often overlooked or simply ignored, since "collisions" with them do not cause any damage. Despite their size, amphibians present danger in traffic. Usually they migrate in large groups, which lead to high number of dead amphibians, creating a slippery roadway. This mainly occurs in early spring, when amphibians are headed from hibernation sites to breeding ponds, and in autumn, when amphibians return to their hibernation sites. In cases, when their migration routes cross roads, consequences for a local population can be catastrophic. Especially in early spring roadkills, when adults before mating are killed. With running over one female her whole potential brood dies with her.

This is one of the actions that is performed all the time and where also you can participate. Collaborators of LUTRA Institute check the roads for roadkills during their daily travels. Additionally we also perform systematic examination of defined road sections. In this way we can gather information on seasonal variation in species composition and number of individuals being killed by traffic. Collected information will help in future decision making in order to find a solution for the most critical sections. Therefore every roadkill data contributes to knowledge of migration routes and times for different species.
