J. Stryker | Memento Vivere 🌿🌲🇨🇦: "Vegetated overpasses facilitate the movement of red foxes, roe deer, red deer, fallow deer, wild boar, and other large mammals, while smaller tunnels enable the movement of otters, badgers, stoats, pine martens, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and amphibians." #conservation 🌎

Wildlife Crossings Can Mend a Landscapewww.sierraclub.org Badgers and hedgehogs need protection from traffic as much as lions and bears

Unintended consequence fun fact: alligators hang out at wildlife passageways under I75 and US41 in the Everglades waiting for tasty treats to be funneled their way.

We have one of these near where I live but unfortunately they're too expensive to have many of them.

They're insanely expensive, but ecologically vital and worthwhile. What type of wildlife do you have where you live? I'm in the country, bereft of any megafauna other than deer.

I live in the Rocky Mountains; so we have white-tailed deer, moose, black + grizzly bears, and mountain lions to name some megafauna. The problem with trying to build such bridges here is that many locals find it futile. There is little support because of how expensive they are and a perception that

they don't do that much to save wildlife populations in light of the money spent.
