by editors@theworld.org (Bianca Hillier) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6ZWQ6)

For decades, ecologists across the globe have argued that wildlife crossings are crucial in eliminating this dilemma. The World's Bianca Hillier looks into the history of these crossing structures and how they're increasingly necessary today.
