Every year, countless animals lose their lives on roads that cut through or near wildlife habitats. What many drivers see as a brief stopover on the way to their holiday destination is, to these animals, their home and their only path for survival.

Migratory animals are central to maintaining the balance of ecosystems. Their movements transfer nutrients and energy across regions, with whales, for example, fertilizing surface waters as they move between feeding grounds, boosting ocean productivity.
