What is a "wildlife crossing"?
A wildlife crossing is a structure built to help animals safely cross roads or highways without the risk of being hit by vehicles. These crossings can be in the form of bridges, tunnels, or overpasses that provide a safe passage for deer, bears, foxes, and other animals. Wildlife crossings are designed to reduce accidents involving animals and vehicles, promoting safer travel for both humans and wildlife. They also help connect habitats, allowing animals to move freely between areas, which is important for their survival and biodiversity.
Example
Many wildlife crossings are constructed to reduce accidents involving animals and vehicles on highways.
The new highway project includes several wildlife crossings to protect local wildlife populations.
Wildlife crossings are designed with natural elements to encourage animals to use them instead of crossing dangerous roads.
