Crossings for wildlife

Wildlife crossings are specially designed structures—such as bridges, tunnels, or overpasses—that enable animals to safely cross human-made barriers like roads and highways. They help prevent accidents, protect animals from getting hit, and reduce habitat fragmentation. These crossings are often built where animal movement is frequent and risk is high, encouraging safer migration and dispersal. Properly planned and maintained, wildlife crossings support both human safety and conservation efforts by fostering connectivity between animal habitats and minimizing human-wildlife conflicts.
