About this ebook
Around the world, city highways and country roads have cut through natural spaces. Wild animals are blocked from the resources they need to survive, or must make dangerous crossings across busy roads to get to them. Fortunately, solving this problem has inspired some creative solutions! Take a tour of wildlife crossings across the globe, from grassy badger bridges to underpasses for elephants. Discover how these inventive pathways have saved both animal and human lives and helped preserve ecosystems.

I WANT THIS BOOK for family, friends, and libraries! Even though I am not aware of any in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Newfoundland (for the moose, deer, and caribou), I have been aware of some in Montana, and New Zealand (little blue fairy Penguins) for a number of years, but: 600 wildlife crossings in The Netherlands alone! and 44 in Canada's Banff National Park! and even an underpass in Kenya for ELRPHANTS! In this book we see not just land bridges, but aerial bridges, friendly tunnels, and even a passageway for pollinators (bees) in NORWAY! There's lots more to know, like activism, architects, awareness campaigns, construction, fundraising, and more! And some of this has been going on since the 1950s! I almost forgot the importance and delight in the illustrations by illustrator Bao Luu! They are simple but convey as much as the storyline! I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Lerner Publishing Group/Millbrook Press ™ via NetGalley. Thank you!
