1. Wildlife overpass
A wildlife overpass, also called an ecoduct or wildlife bridge, is a specially designed bridge that allows wild animals to cross safely above a road or railway. The structure is covered with soil, vegetation and other natural features so that it connects habitats on both sides of the transport route. Fences are often used to guide animals toward the crossing and prevent them from entering the road. Wildlife overpasses reduce animal-vehicle collisions and reconnect habitats that have been divided by roads.
