Environment America: Support wildlife crossings and save live

Majestic animals belong in the majestic wild -- not dead on the side of the road. Since habitats are increasingly fractured by roads, highways and other infrastructure, animals are sometimes forced to take deadly risks. Each year roughly 1-2 million bears, moose, elk and other large animals are killed by motor vehicles in the U.S. The results? Animal lives wasted, 200 dead motorists, 26,000 more injured, and billions of dollars in damage. Wildlife crossings -- bridges and tunnels for animals to cross highways -- are an extremely effective solution, and your voice matters. Urge your U.S. senators today to support funding for wildlife crossings in the upcoming transportation bill. Act HERE.
