A global overview of wildlife crossings – examples of maintaining functional connectivity across roads for a variety of species

Presenter: Rob Ament, M.Sc. Biological Sciences, Senior Conservationist, Center for Large Landscape Conservation, member of IUCN’s Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group, co-chair of Transport Working Group and Asian elephant Transport Working Group

Webinar Description: Rob shows examples of how different countries on six continents are all tackling the common issue of making roads more permeable and less lethal for wildlife. He covers a variety of taxa that are the focus of the crossing designs, from arboreal primates, large herbivores, and meso-carnivores to birds and reptiles. Viewers may find it interesting to see how crossing designs change among different cultures and environments.
