"Badgers in the Netherlands need to forage for food in the forests, penguins in New Zealand need to make nests on the shore, and elephants in Kenya need to find mates and drinking water. But roads around the world now cut through natural spaces and block their way. This informative picture book focuses on a solution to this problem: wildlife crossings. Short, descriptive text gives numerous examples of crossings, from a rope bridge for ringtail possums to a pipeline for penguins to a ladder for leaping fish, and explains how these thoughtful engineering feats help protect animals. Vibrant, softly drawn illustrations show these animals in action and how the wildlife crossings work. Rounding out the volume is a brief look at the civil engineers, scientists, construction crews, and other individuals who advocate for, design, and build these life-saving structures. Back matter offers additional examples of wildlife crossings, including more detailed facts and photographs. Pair with Katy S.
