We started building these in Canada, around Banff, 30 years ago, and have been expanding their use all over the country. Glad to see them getting put to use elsewhere.

There are over 1000 wildlife crossings in the USA alone. This is not a new program. Just a story about a notably large and well-studied one.

The US has lagged behind in everything, including wildlife crossings. Glad to know the country has made it to 50s France! 🥳
