Wildlife corridor bridge

Wildlife corridor across a road. Bridges (or sometimes tunnels) are constructed to enable terrestrial animals to cross man-made barriers, such as roads. These corridors are important for maintaining the movement and migration of animals in habitats that have been fragmented by the actions of humans, and for preventing road casualties.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a wildlife corridor bridge in Banff National Park, Canada. The image showcases the remarkable efforts made by humans to enable terrestrial animals to cross man-made barriers such as roads. These bridges, sometimes tunnels, serve as vital connections for animals, allowing them to maintain their natural movement and migration patterns in habitats that have been fragmented by human activities. The significance of these corridors goes beyond just preserving animal populations; they also play a crucial role in preventing road casualties. As cars speed along highways like Canadian Highway One, this well-designed structure acts as a protective pathway for wildlife, ensuring their safe passage across the busy road. In this photograph, we witness nature and technology harmoniously coexisting. The arch-like bridge gracefully blends into its surroundings while providing an essential link between two fragmented habitats. It symbolizes our commitment to environmental conservation and preservation. Banff National Park stands as a testament to Canada's dedication towards protecting its rich biodiversity and natural heritage. By constructing wildlife corridors like this one within reserves and national parks across the country, we strive to mitigate habitat fragmentation caused by human development. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this momentous connection between humans and nature through their lens—a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard our planet's delicate ecosystems for generations to come.
