Maine turtle tunnel welcomes its first endangered Blanding's turtle
Original: A brand-new Maine turtle tunnel hosts its very first endangered Blandings Turtle
A newly built turtle tunnel in Maine has recorded its first crossing by an endangered Blanding's turtle. The underpass is designed to let turtles safely cross roads instead of being struck by vehicles, protecting one of the region's rarest reptile species. Conservation groups are celebrating the sighting as early proof the investment in wildlife crossings is working.
Why now: Conservationists are encouraged that the new wildlife crossing is already protecting an endangered species.
