Conservation Biology: Wildlife crossings

A study by Caltrans and the National Park Service found that improving wildlife crossings of the 23 freeway in Simi increased the frequency of use of those crossings by large mammals and reduced roadkill. The project installed 12 wildlife gates and cleared three culverts to make them accessible as freeway crossings and improved fences to deter animals from crossing the freeway. Cameras were installed and surveys conducted by the NPS monitored the impact of these improvements on wildlife. Image via
