    Like you, I loved seeing these bridges. I had read about them, so we were actively watching out for them on our road trip to Banff. I think the mixture of them and underpasses are a fab idea, but I didn’t know about the more recent research. I had no idea Elk are early adopters!

    It would be good if more places adopted something similar to help wildlife. 🙂

      Hi Josy, thanks so much for stopping by. How neat that you were looking for them. They came as quite a surprise to me and the stories of wildlife captured through video cameras and DNA are so fascinating.
      I later found that my daughter was learning about wildlife overpasses and underpasses in school. They were learning in general about wildlife crossings around the world. It was neat to see these in real life. How cool would it be to see a bear or elk walk over it as we drive on the highway

    It is amazing to see the scientific research and indications that the cougar population has increased. My home country of Australia is slowly introducing wildlife overpasses. Thank you for such an informative post. Our wildlife is so important and we need to protect it.

      It’s so awesome to hear about wildlife overpasses coming up in Australia. Where in Australia are they being introduced? Is that a national park?

    What a neat solution for wildlife and people so that they can coexist together. I love this idea and am so glad that were able to implement it.

      It’s so cool that people are coming up with ways to humans to appreciate the natural world while preserving it and helping thrive. Wildlife crossings are a great innovation!

    I felt the same exact way when I saw these animal crossings in Banff & Jasper, it’s genius. But I didn’t know the history of it in depth so thanks for sharing it in this post. Loved reading every bit of it! 🙂

      Hi Richa, thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you enjoyed reading about the wild crossings in Banff. These exist in Europe and around the world. As I learn about them I’ll share.
