This powerful nonfiction picture book explores wildlife crossings
around the world and how they are helping save thousands of animals
every day.
Around the world, bridges, tunnels, and highways are constantly being
built to help people get from one place to another. But what happens
when construction spreads over, under, across, and through animal
habitats? Thankfully, groups of concerned citizens, scientists,
engineers, and construction crews have come together to create wildlife
crossings to help keep animals safe.
From elk traversing a wildlife bridge across a Canadian interstate to
titi monkeys using rope bridges over a Costa Rican road to salamanders
creeping through tiny tunnels beneath a Massachusetts street, young
readers are certain to be delighted and inspired by these ingenious
solutions that are saving the lives of countless wild animals.
