In many countries, socioeconomic development is related to the expansion and maintenance of road infrastructure. In Brazil, most of cargo and passengers transport is road based. However, this transportation modality can cause negative impacts to biodiversity, once it promotes habitats fragmentation and biological flow's reduction. Once fauna run-over figures among the main impacts caused by roads, the implementation of measures to mitigate it is necessary. Thus, based on data gathered up until 2017, this paper aims to present information about fauna run-over mitigation measures in Brazilian federal highway concessions. For this study, 461 mitigation measures and 627 devices that can be used as fauna underpasses were registered, of which 334 are near legally protected areas. Moreover, there are currently 158 planned fauna run-over mitigation measures.
