Roads, subdivisions,logging and other forms of development split and fragment animal habitat. Global warming adds to the urgency. If migration routes are cut off by human obstacles, animals will be unable to escape drought,floods and rising temperatures. More than a million land species could face extinction within the next hundred years.
But we can do something. We can create, protect and restore corridors or wildways between protected areas. Sometimes, it’s as simple as an animal overpass or a sympathetic landowner.
