Animal overpasses spreading around the globe
#1
Where there are highways there is road kill. To try and stop the carnage overpasses are being built to enable wildlife to cross roads safely. The idea of overpasses caught on in Europe in the 1950s and has been spreading. Some passes are added to existing highways, others are being designed into a new highway. There are different styles depending on the type of wildlife and habitat involved. There is no question that they are working. We do have to work on the design and make them appealing to the animals, but they do save lives.

I like the idea that the overpasses are spreading around the world. As we build more highways, and we will, we can consider the needs of animals and build with their safety in mind. This is a very hopeful sign that we are respecting animals and recognize that we can't just do what we want without considering their needs. The world is changing for the better.
