Smart Design for Wildlife Crossings Would Benefit Communities
The Pew Charitable Trusts argues that well-designed wildlife crossings, such as bridges and underpasses that let animals safely cross roads, would benefit both wildlife and nearby communities. The group says smarter infrastructure can reduce animal-vehicle collisions, protect drivers, and reconnect fragmented habitats, and is encouraging policymakers to invest in such projects.
Why now: Ongoing policy debates over infrastructure funding and road safety have put wildlife crossings back on the agenda.
