Bridges and tunnels built for wildlife

Roads and other construction can cut through animal habitats, creating a challenge for wildlife and the people who build around it. Katy S. Duffield’s nonfiction picture book introduces crossings designed to help animals move safely: elk use a bridge over a Canadian interstate, titi monkeys cross on ropes above a Costa Rican road, and salamanders travel through tunnels beneath a Massachusetts street. These examples connect animal welfare with engineering and habitat protection, showing how bridges, tunnels, and other structures can be adapted for species with very different ways of moving.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in animals and wildlife
  • Young readers curious about bridges, tunnels, and engineering
  • Families and educators exploring animal welfare and habitats

Book overview

This powerful nonfiction picture book explores wildlife crossings around the world and how they are helping save thousands of animals every day.

Around the world, bridges, tunnels, and highways are constantly being built to help people get from one place to another. But what happens when construction spreads over, under, across, and through animal habitats? Thankfully, groups of concerned citizens, scientists, engineers, and construction crews have come together to create wildlife crossings to help keep animals safe.

From elk traversing a wildlife bridge across a Canadian interstate to titi monkeys using rope bridges over a Costa Rican road to salamanders creeping through tiny tunnels beneath a Massachusetts street, young readers are certain to be delighted and inspired by these ingenious solutions that are saving the lives of countless wild animals.
