The Wildlife Crossings Toolkit is designed for
professional wildlife biologists and engineers faced with integrating
our highway infrastructure and wildlife resources.
What
is the Wildlife Crossings Toolkit and how do
I use it? The
Toolkit is a searchable database of case histories of mitigation measures,
and articles on decreasing wildlife mortality and increasing animals' ability
to cross highways. Click here to learn more on how to use the Toolkit.
Who
created the Toolkit? The Toolkit project
was initiated by the USDA Forest Service, San Dimas Technology and Development
Center. The website was created by Utah State University's Jack H. Berryman
Institute with support from the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney Foundation. Other
partners include the Federal Highway Administration and Western Transportation
Institute.
Who
is the Toolkit designed to serve? Professional wildlife
biologists and engineers
can use the Toolkit interdisciplinarily
to creatively solve
challenges associated with highways. A biological and engineering glossary
and standardized definitions for common structure types are here to help.
