Wildlife crossing

Repost, but an article came up about one in California .

I've seen a few rewilding campaigns in my community (Northeastern US) take shape over the last few years, and it makes me have a little hope. What with everything, all the time, I like when good news slips through.

These are very common in the Rock Mountains, especially in and around Banff National Park. I recall them building a lot of them about 10 years ago. A wonderful initiative.

Pretty common here in Germany. Oh, and we have frog fences, too!

You mean the stork feeding stations? =D

The unfortunate thing with these is a lot of the times they don't even consult with biologists when considering the placement. Engineers just find the most convenient location / cheapest location to build and think the animals will use it but they often end up in a spot the animals don't really go to.

Despite there being very obvious game trails just down the highway.

So a lot of them are just expensive feel-good tourist eco green washing type propaganda.

I've been following the Annenberg Crossing since the earliest days. It's amazing

Apparently they’re trialiang cheaper underground ones for insects amphibians and small mammals, and the results are pretty good.

We've had those for decades though.
