Listen Later

There is a lot of talk about improving America's infrastructure. The House of Representatives recently passed the INVEST Act, legislation that would earmark billions towards improving America’s roadways, transportation, and more, and includes funds for wildlife corridors and crossings -- to help wild animals survive in an increasingly developed world. Now, the International Fund for Animal Welfare lays out the case for making sure wildlife corridors are part of the nation's infrastructure planning and laws. You can help! Wildlife corridors: Decrease wildlife-vehicle collisions: Every year in the U.S., an estimated 1 to 2 million collisions occur between motorists and large animals, resulting in 200 human deaths and 26,000 injuries – costing the U.S. 8 billion dollars annually. And, there's the suffering and death of wildlife, innocent being trying to survive in an increasingly complex and challenging world, Help preserve wildlife habitats: In addition to transportation routes, structures such as walls, fences, and dams immensely affect and impede migratory routes, cutting off food and water supplies, and otherwise disrupting important wildlife habitats.

Find out how you can help speak for otherwise voiceless wildlife at risk right now.
