Home on the Range: A Corridor for Wildlife

The New York Times gives an update of the Yellowstone to Yukon project, the idea of creating wildlife corridors from the Yukon to Yellowstone, so that animals can travel between the two distances without being hit by cars, trucks, and trains. The project was inspired by a wolf that travelled an enormous distance in the area around Banff. Good graphics here, and a good video, explaining that when people see gorgeous scenery, they don't realize that those few roads that cut through an area can drastically affect wildlife, especially the largest varieties.
