Maine turtle tunnel welcomes 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 endangered Blanding's turtle passing through. The crossing is designed to let turtles safely travel under a road instead of across it, reducing roadkill among the threatened species. Conservation groups are highlighting the moment as early evidence the infrastructure can protect one of the region's rarest reptiles.
Why now: Conservationists are celebrating the first confirmed use of new wildlife infrastructure protecting an endangered species.
