Ascension Island’s near-endemic land crab is the island’s largest native land animal and protected in-law. Despite this, many are killed by traffic each year. Through the use of signage and education, this project aims to reduce the number of land crabs killed on Ascension’s roads. This project will focus on warning drivers to reduce their speed while looking out for crabs in key areas, and also to educate residents and new arrivals about the importance of land crabs through outreach.
