Description We all need safe places to live and safe paths to travel. Animals, too. Discover the people who are stitching the planet's habitats back together, one wildlife bridge at a time. Combining first-person reporting with scientific and engineering data, Wildlife Crossings of Hope takes a personal approach to wildlife crossings around the world, from salamander tunnels in Massachusetts to elephant underpasses in Mount Kenya to green bridges in India. Together we'll explore how scientists, engineers, and lots of everyday people are working to make sure that the wildlife so essential to Earth's health and beauty continues to freely move through this richly inhabited planet. And let's find out how you too can help wildlife navigate a world that seems evermore crowded. Back matter includes actions for readers to take, a complete listing of the scientific names of all creatures discussed, source notes, a bibliography, an index, and more.
