Wildlife Bridges
Also known as green bridges, land bridges, or ecoducts, these are created to allow wildlife a safe way to cross major roads. Allowing free movement stops species populations from becoming isolated, and helps prevent animals from walking onto busy roads.
Wildlife bridges were pioneered in the Netherlands, where almost 50 have been built since 1988. Since then, the idea has been adopted across the world, by countries including Canada, Singapore, Australia, and various countries in the EU.
(I was reminded of these by a comment from @aspiringwarriorlibrarian about the effects of roads on wildlife.)
Can we PLEASE start creating these for America’s Birthday!
And encourage pretty green color graffiti on all that concrete on the sides
