Adding Roadside Animal detection system to Waze as a feature will help reduce animal roadkill problem.
Roadside Animal Detection (RADAR) systems – A computerized signs with flashing light stripped when an animal breaks a light beam . These can reduce collisions with large animals. These alerts and captured images can also be sent to different GPS apps like Waze, so that drivers coming by on that road can be alerted through their GPS apps and slow down when crossing that area.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Just saw a moose on on off ramp and it was sudden. He was dangerously close to the road and I didn’t mark it immediately as he surprised me. I should be able to go back and mark the spot for the safety of others

As the Phoenix Metro area continues to expand into land that was virgin desert, we are having to deal with the coyotes and bobcats who called these areas, “Home”. Unfortunately, rather than heading deeper into the desert, these creatures have discovered that outdoor cats and small dogs doing their, “Business” in their walled backyards to be easy prey. Even in heavily populated neighborhoods where homes were built 25+ years ago, an astounding number of people are dealing with the grief of losing a friend and furry family member.
My husband came up with a great solution! He bought two coyote-proof dog run kits, assembled them, and used the remaining materials to build a safe tunnel that connects our new, “Doggie Fun House” to our doggie door. In it he placed a square piece of articifical grass, where our doggies can do their business without risking becoming prey.
I learned from a specialist at the Arizona Game & Fish Department that the best solution involved neighbors uniting and agreeing to spend just a few minutes a day performing simple tasks that will render our neighborhood less appealing to coyotes. I thought Wave would be of great assistance in our efforts to keep our pets safe, and would create a new group of appreciative, loyal, users.

Cassowary, ionic bird from the rainforest of south Eastern Asia are been killed on Australian roads,daily. Technology like Waze could allow users to record a cassowary sighting and then in real time warn other drivers of the hazard ahead. This would be a win for the cassowary, the driving public,scientific research and the world would be a little better. Spottedwild.com has rhe vision,Waze could make this happen

When you are on a high-speed road and the traffic stops suddenly, show a notification alerting you. Sometimes it happens due to traffic jam, crash, animal, whatever...

I believe adding an animal crossing warning would be helpful for those driving in more rural areas. To use as an example, I was driving home from the gym late at night and nearly hit a deer but I couldn't place a warning for it; the closet thing I could've used instead was the roadkill option (which wouldn't be too far from the truth if someone was too unfortunate enough as to hit the deer).

For this, there are road signals. If u want a really interesting function, teach bears to use Waze. Then you'll always know where they are ;)

לאור התאונה המזעזעת שנגרמה עקב גמל משוטט
יש לי רעיון איך למנוע
היום אפשר לרכוש דיי בזול רכיב gps שעובד על רשת סלולר לשתול אותו על כל גמל באיזורי הסיכון ושהמשטרה תעקוב ובמקרה שגמל יתקרב לכביש לשלוח ניידת רחפן או אפילו אות חשמלי שיציק לגמל וישלח אותו לכיוון שני כמובן שגם יהיה אפשר לתקשר באפלקציה ניווט כמו וויז שיש באיזור גמל וצריך להאט

I live in a wildlife rich area where there are 7,000 wildlife vehicle collisions each year (statewide-Colorado). This seems easy enough to do, as it would be the same thing as "car on shoulder ahead". Please move this to the top of your list.

The new WAZE function will:
Report wild animals run over by cars in open spaces and outside urban areas;
The reports will be used to map the roads that are most dangerous to wild animals and find ways to reduce the number of dead animals.
Note: This function has only been implemented in Israel so far. I would like this idea to be put in Brazil, my country of origin, because currently 475 million animals die on Brazilian roads. -

This would also save the lives of people. I would also like to see the animal alerts under "On Road" as I see critters standing in the road frequently or flock of waterfowl crossing.

Please make an icon for deer on the road, or other animals. This can be an awesome new feature, that only needs a slight modification to your existing tech. This idea can save both animal and human life, by keeping drivers aware of the risks ahead on their route!
