Architecture For The Planet - Green Bridges

Green bridges are amazing architectural structures in the natural landscape built over roads to allow animals cross safely to the other side.  They have soil, grass and vegetation on top to provide suitable habitat for a range of different species: deers, elks, mooses, bears and wolves. In Banff National Park in Canada, animals have used the six overpasses and 35 underpasses more than 200,000 times since 1996.
