Wildlife research in transportation lines in three protected areas at West Sumatra was done from January to March 2016. The study was conducted at three conservation areas at West Sumatra i.e. Ladang Padi, Lembah Anai and Rimbo Panti. The method used is a survey research and observation. The wildlife found in this study consisted of two classes (Reptiles and Mammals), six species: Macaca fascicularis, Tupaia montana (Mammals), Naja sumatrana, Coelognathus flavolineathus, Dendrelaphis pictus and Bronchocela cristatella (Reptile). The topography of the conservation area was flat, straight roads and wide roads lead to the speed of mobile transport that can be accelerated to the maximum, these characteristics pose a hazard to wildlife to perform the activity.
