Dear CCSG Members, We are pleased to share that today the Center for Large Landscape Conservation, Montana State University’s Western Transportation Institute, and Dr. David Theobald with Conservation Planning Technologies published the results of the West-Wide Study to Identify Important Highway Locations for Wildlife Crossings. As detailed in the press release available here, the study highlights road segments in 11 western states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. It takes a fresh approach by integrating ecological, economic, and safety considerations to identify the sections of highway across the West that are best served by future wildlife crossings with fencing.  The study comes at a time of increased interest, momentum, and policies for building wildlife crossings and implementing other mitigation measures in the U.S., including $350 million in federal funding from the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
