摘要: The Banff Wildlife Crossings Project's (BWCP’s) monitoring and wildlife research, coupled with outreach education, aims to properly inform the transportation community managers of environmental societal benefits Banff’s highway infrastructure investments. In addition, Project seeks share its findings on crossing design elements, requirements their effectiveness. BWCP goal is increase agency understanding awareness so that other busy roads in mountain parks locales Canadian Rocky Mountains United States benefit from BWCP. This will allow communities develop sustainable practices provide ecological connectivity for across corridors as well maintain motorist safety.
