Want fewer highway deaths? Build the animals some bridges

Growing up in rural Iowa, roadkill was basically a fact of life. Skunks were the most dreaded, for obvious reasons, but cars mowed down raccoons, squirrels, pets, and — sometimes fatally for drivers and passengers — deer. Roads often pass through ecosystems where a lot of animals make their homes. Which is why, when Montana's department of transportation wanted to build a new road, they built a land bridge for wildlife.
