LISTEN: Transportation ecology bridges the gap

Wildlife vehicle collisions are responsible for more than $10 billion in damage in the United States each year. They also kill or injure a massive number of wild species. Management tools, such as overpasses, underpasses and more help reduce these conflicts around the world. 

In this episode of Our Wild Lives, Katie Perkins and Ed Arnett of The Wildlife Society are joined by TWS members Patty Cramer, founder of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute, and Renee Callahan, executive director at ARC Solutions, to learn more about the science of wildlife transportation ecology. 

Cramer and Callahan discuss how data-driven designs, policy and collaboration are removing the barriers for wildlife around the world.
