One million of our planet's estimated eight million species are at risk of extinction. In the United States, habitat fragmentation is a key contributing threat to wildlife, especially in the form of roads: American drivers traverse trillions of miles daily, resulting in more than one million collisions with wildlife each year. Protecting wildlife corridors and creating road crossings are a proven solution to save wildlife and reconnecting the wild spaces they need to thrive. But not only do corridors and crossings benefit animals. They also provide myriad advantages to people: economic benefits and jobs to states and tribes as well as support for recreation and safety for motorists. |
