This video shared on Facebook by David Wolfe shows the promise of animal bridges, looking at real animal bridges from rope bridges, crab ramps, turtle tunnels, actual concrete and dirt bridges for wildlife, and fish ladders in use today.

With these added animal bridges wildlife has a better chance at thriving in this modern day of development.
