Ben Goldfarb, Author of Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet
Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, providing convenient infrastructure for humans at the expense of wildlife. Discover the profound ecological harm wrought by transportation, and the innovative solutions road ecologists, conservationists, and engineers are using to redress them. From tunnels for English toads to bridges for California’s mountain lions, learn how we can create a better, safer world for all living beings.
