Restoring Animal Corridors

View Related Episode: Sudden Oak Death, Restoring Animal Corridors

Roads and highways help people get around, but for wild animals they can do the opposite. Every year 1.5 million animal/vehicle collisions occur on U.S. roads, killing over 200 people and countless animals. Some species are being fragmented into pockets of habitat too small to support long-term survival. Field Guild looks at methods that have been tried in Oregon and elsewhere in the world to help animals move as their lifecycle demands.
