Over and Under: Wildlife Crossings | BLOCK F |
Why did the turtle cross the road? Better yet, how can a turtle cross a busy highway safely? Collisions between wildlife and automobiles are expensive, dangerous, and deadly for animals and people. "Over & Under: Wildlife Crossings" explores old and new methods that allow animals to move over or under our nation's highways in search of food, shelter, and companionship. The stories behind two innovative and effective crossings for endangered turtles in Iowa and Wisconsin are featured. The Mid-America Emmy-winning "Over & Under" makes a compelling case for the construction of wildlife crossings while it encourages motorists to do their part by minding "animal crossing" signs.
