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.
