World’s largest #WildlifeCrossing on #California #101 nears finish
Officials announced Dec 2, 2026, as the opening date for the #WallisAnnenbergWildlifeCrossing.
The bridge will span 10 lanes of freeway, giving #wildlife a safe path across.

Once widespread across southern #Asia, the animal now only survives on the islands of #Sumatra & #Borneo. Fewer than 14,000 #SumatranOrangutans remain in the wild, alongside just 800 Tapanuli #orangutans & about 104,700 Bornean orangutans, according to #conservation groups.
“These bridges allow orangutans to move, to mix, to maintain healthy populations,” Siregar said. “It reduces the risk of #extinction.”#SumatraOrangutan #WildlifeConservation #habitat #HumanEncroachment #HabitatFragmentation

Similar bridges have been used by #orangutans elsewhere, but usually over rivers or on private industrial forest road. Conservationists say public roads — noisy, busy & unpredictable — pose a far greater challenge.
For orangutans, the stakes are high. Isolation leads to inbreeding, genetic weakening & eventual population collapse. Restoring connectivity gives them a chance to survive.

He said that the bridge spans the Lagan–Pagindar road in Pakpak Bharat district, a vital corridor connecting remote villages to schools, healthcare & government services. But the road also cuts directly through prime #orangutan #habitat, splitting an estimated 350 #orangutans into two isolated forest areas: the Siranggas Wildlife Reserve & the Sikulaping Protection Forest.

“This was the moment we had been waiting for,” Erwin Alamsyah Siregar, executive director of Indonesian conservation group Tangguh Hutan Khatulistiwa, or TaHuKah, told The Associated Press. “We are very grateful that the canopy here provides benefits for orangutan #conservation efforts.”

The fleeting scene, captured by a motion‑sensitive camera, showed a young #SumatranOrangutan pause at the forest’s edge, grip a rope with deliberate care & step out into open air. Halfway across, it stopped, casting a glance down at the road below. Moments later, it crossed.
Conservationists said that it marks the first documented case of a #SumatraOrangutan using an artificial canopy bridge to cross a public road that had divided its #habitat.

Camera shows #SumatraOrangutan using a canopy bridge to cross a road in #Indonesia
A Sumatran orangutan has been filmed for the first time using a human-made canopy bridge to cross a public road on the Indonesian island of #Sumatra, conservationists said Monday.
Rapid development has been shrinking the #jungle #habitat of the critically #EndangeredSpecies, & fatal conflicts with people have been increasing.

#Montana - #PollinatorCorridors are the next big thing in urban and suburban #gardening
Mandy Applegate Jul 24, 2025
"#Pollinator corridors are quickly becoming the next big focus in urban and suburban gardening, with more than 22% of native pollinators in North America facing serious threats to survival. As concerns grow, these pollinator corridors offer a practical solution by linking private gardens, parks and roadside green spaces into a continuous habitat. Without focused intervention, the steady decline of pollinators could fracture the ecological links that support food production, wildlife health and #ecosystem resilience.
"A network of #NativePlants
"Pollinator corridors are strips of pesticide-free native plants that give wildlife room to move and thrive in built environments. These stretches serve as travel routes where bees, butterflies and other pollinators can consistently access food, shelter and nesting areas. They also let residents reconnect with #nature while building attractive, water-wise gardens suited to their local climate.
"Local programs are expanding efforts to help residents support pollinators in their neighborhoods. By offering planting guides, hands-on workshops and access to native species, organizers are making it easier for people to turn yards, balconies and curbside strips into productive habitats.
"These corridors play a key role in reducing #HabitatFragmentation, which poses a major threat to pollinators. Instead of relying on scattered gardens, pollinators can follow a connected trail of habitat through neighborhoods, parks and roadside spaces. The result is a more livable landscape for #wildlife and a stronger sense of community #stewardship."

Koalas and wildlife running the gauntlet on Hogbin Drive?
Hogbin Drive leads through coastal bush and wetland near Coffs Harbour airport and has been a wildlife squasher for a long time. Now that the 'fauna exclusion fence" is almost complete, motorists can speed without 'obstacles' getting in their way. The three kilometres of fencing was meant to prevent the killing of five koalas per year and many injured wildlife.
"It was a tragedy to see a dead koala on Hogbin Drive on Sunday, April 28th just north of the airport roundabout especially after fencing was put up on either side of the road. All that money spent by the council just to create a gauntlet that koalas cant get out of once they have scaled the fencing."
The other day, part of the not yet completed fence was destroyed by a vehicle. Today a large wallaby was trapped and killed on the inside of the road. The gene flow of local biodiversity is now even more restricted than before, but the free flow of traffic is an absolute priority.

The unseen impact of the country's relentless urban sprawl on the native wildlife population. The displacement of biodiversity with wo/men and their dogs
“The wildlife is suffering ..., the kangaroos haven't got anywhere to go. They can’t go back to where they came from because it’s just houses now."
"While developments are financially lucrative for both construction companies and the local council, residents (wildlife carers) say they’ve been left to clean up the mess with little help."

And then the koalas just vanished...
Speeding cars, road designs, roaming dogs and disease are the biggest koala killers.
Logging and sprawl should also be added to the list of extinction makers"A database tracking hospital admissions and deaths reveals the devastating impact cars, disease and dogs are having on the South East Queensland koala population"
.
"In the five years between 2009 and 2014, 52% of reported wild koala deaths were caused by car strike, 34% were from a chlamydia-related disease and 14% were because of a dog attack."This equates to 1,431 koala deaths from a car strike, 943 chlamydia-related deaths, and 395 dog attack deaths in just five years."
"Remember that these deaths were just the reported cases, so the real numbers would be significantly higher."
