21 AMAZING ANIMAL BRIDGES ACROSS THE WORLD that Save Thousands of Animals from Dying

More animals are killed by cars each day than we can ever imagine, the death toll rising day by day across the globe every year. Governments and animal welfare bodies have tried many things – like glow-in-the-dark paints, barricading, etc – but nothing has worked better than animal bridges and crossings.

The concept of animal bridges, also known as ecoducts or wildlife crossings, first began in France in the 1950s, and it took off in the Netherlands, which now has more than 600 crossings to protect badgers, elk, and other mammals. Their largest wildlife crossing, Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo, is more than 0.5 miles long!

Switzerland, Germany, and France have also established a lot of overpasses and underpasses to protect animals.

Check out these amazing bridges and crossings from across the globe that not only facilitate a way for animals to cross the road, but also keep them protected.
