- 1Trump Administration Pushes Mining Into US Wildlife Corridor▼The Trump Administration’s Critical Minerals Agenda Comes for America’s ‘Forgotten Wildlife Corridor’
The Trump administration's push to expand critical minerals mining is advancing into a region conservationists call America's 'forgotten wildlife corridor', according to Inside Climate News. The report raises concerns that mining development tied to the administration's minerals agenda could fragment habitat and threaten wildlife movement in the area.
- 2Colorado wildlife fences cut I-25 collisions by 91%▼CDOT I-25 South Gap projects reduce wildlife collisions by 91%
Colorado transportation officials report that wildlife crossings and fencing installed along the I-25 South Gap corridor between Colorado Springs and the New Mexico line have reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 91%. The projects were built to protect migrating elk and deer herds that frequently crossed the busy highway. Local outlets are highlighting the figure as evidence the mitigation infrastructure is working, with drivers and conservation groups welcoming the safety results.
- 3Greenland wildlife overpass cuts animal-vehicle collisions by 91%▼Greenland wildlife overpass has helped reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by 91%
A wildlife overpass built at Greenland, in the Colorado Springs area, has reduced collisions between vehicles and wildlife by 91% since its construction, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette. The structure lets animals such as deer and elk cross the highway safely above traffic, protecting both drivers and animals along a busy corridor.
- 4Florida programme protects 61,525 acres for wildlife habitat●Florida's conservation programme protects 61,525 acres, strengthening habitat connectivity across the 1.6
Florida's conservation programme has placed 61,525 acres under protection, strengthening habitat connectivity across the state's larger 1.6-million-acre conservation landscape. The move links fragmented wildlife corridors, giving species like the Florida panther room to roam. It is being reported as a significant step for wildlife conservation in the region.
- 5Yellowstone to Yukon conservation project marks decades of reconnecting wildlife habitat▼In 1993, a project set out to reconnect wildlife habitat from Yellowstone to Canada's Yukon; its partners
In 1993, a large-scale conservation initiative launched with the goal of reconnecting wildlife habitat along a corridor stretching from Yellowstone National Park in the United States to Canada's Yukon territory. The project brought together multiple partner organisations to protect and link fragmented ecosystems across thousands of kilometres, allowing animals such as grizzly bears and wolves to move freely between protected areas.
- 6Work Begins Near Joshua Tree on Wildlife Crossings▼Work begins near Joshua Tree National Park to guide design of wildlife crossings
Work has started near Joshua Tree National Park in California on a project intended to guide the design of wildlife crossings. The effort aims to gather information that will help planners build structures allowing animals to move safely across roads, reducing collisions and habitat fragmentation around the park.
