Wildlife bridges

As much as I’m a total hippy and think the planet truly belongs to the flowers and the bunnies, sometimes humans think of a way to be selfish and considerate at the same time. I give you; the wildlife bridge. Pretty mental/amazing, yes?

If I was a nitpicker (which I am), I’d say I think this particular example could have more tree-coverage (I know the ‘clearing’ idea would encourage the animals not to precariously set up home, but surely the rumbling from the fast-moving vehicles means they wouldn’t linger).

This idea is also known as an ‘ecoduct’, but adding ‘eco’ to anything conjures images of aggressive unwashed people.

This is a wildlife bridge for crabs or scorpions or something. It makes me feel itchy.
