Roads are ubiquitous components of many landscapes throughout the world. These human structures and their traffic cause wildlife mortality and disrupt animal movements, creating a barrier effect, habitat fragmentation and increasing the risk of extinction. Wildlife crossings are structures designed to allow animals to cross human-made barriers safely.<\/p>\n

There are different types of structures, that can be classified as: crossing over the traffic, such as overpasses or green bridges (mainly for large or herd-type animals), arboreal crossings or rope bridges (especially for monkeys and squirrels), and green roofs (for butterflies and birds); crossing under the traffic, such as viaducts, underpass tunnels (for small mammals), culverts and tunnels for amphibians; and other special types such as fish ladders.<\/p>\n
