Man’s roads have cut through the habitats of every animal in the world. Only now are we taking animals into consideration and building in or adding structures to help the anmials find safer ways to cross the roads of all sizes. 

Duffield and Orodan have crafted a beautiful book about these, unfortunately fairly unique crossing structures. After reading the book together it is an easy step to search the internet for photographs of the structures and look for more examples.
