The growing global popularity of wildlife crossings

Wildlife crossings, those special bridges and tunnels that help animals safely cross roads and reconnect fragmented habitats, have seen a surge in popularity globally. These crossings not only decrease vehicle-animal collisions but also support threatened species and boost genetic diversity. Journalist Ben Goldfarb, who previously discussed this in his book "Crossings," has noted this trend's rise in recent years, highlighting their increasing acceptance and implementation worldwide. This shift is significant as it underscores a growing commitment to balancing infrastructure development with wildlife conservation.
