Project

"Barrier or Bridge?: Assessing Wildlife Passage Effectiveness in Linking Crossing Behavior to Connectivity
This project will investigate whether wildlife crossings along Autoroute 10 effectively reconnect animal populations by facilitating the movement and breeding of mammals across a highly fragmented landscape. The findings will help Québec design more effective conservation and transportation strategies as wildlife habitats shift under climate change.
