Climate Connections features Renee Callahan

The Yale Climate Connections radio program shared TWS member Renee Cahallan’s expertise on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and wildlife crossing. As part of the law, a trillion dollars has gone into repairing and rebuilding roads and bridges. This funding helps the infrastructure become more resilient to climate change. It also helps wildlife move to suitable habitat as climate changes, since the law provides funding for underpasses or overpasses that help wildlife safely cross roads. “If animals are not able to move out of an area, then those animals are going to perish,” Callahan, the executive director for the nonprofit Animal Road Crossing (ARC) Solutions, said on the program. Yale Climate Connections interviewed Callahan at The Wildlife Society’s 2024 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
