This is civilized society. Mankind is the pupil. When we learn to live in harmony with our world and each other we will become children of the universe.
@2:25 so happy and excited to see herds of deer running across the wildlife bridge and knowing they're safe from traffic and accidents gives me a peace of mind. I take a bow to all those who are part of the bridges for wildlife project.
We need more funding for these on all highways across the globe to keep wildlife alive as every human on this planet is connected to nature and wildlife.
This video serves as an encouraging mark toward changing how we think about protecting wildlife. Although we have much work to do, I had no idea we'd come this far. Thank you so much for your channel.
People can lose their lives too. This is a win/win for all living beings. Added benefit, we get to watch all the animals using these crossings without interference.
I'm a concrete mason with 27 years under my belt building skyscrapers in Manhattan. I've always been a huge animal lover and activist. Well if I can help in some way I will be able to combine two of my favorite things. How can I get involved in this great opportunity??
I am glad that these exist. But I am aware that we as humans can only account for a small percentage in the Environment. Truth be told, and depending on any Weather and geological shifts in the future, we might face floods, earthquakes and/or tornado effects that could bring these types of bridges to harm. So we need to be mindful of not just where to build these bridges, but also how to create something stable enough to survive the changing climates of the land.
These wildlife crossings also provide a marginal benefit for people as well. By reducing the number of vehicle collisions with wildlife, we reduce the number of accident insurance claims, and consequently, the insurance premiums.
You forgot to cover the wildlife overpasses in the under construction Mumbai-Delhi and Mumbai-Nagpur expressways in India. Moreover, India built a 16km elevated section in the National Highway-44 which passes through Pench Tiger reserve. The elevated stretch of the whole highway allows endangered animals like tigers to pass unhindered through their protected reserve.
There are three or four places in my home state I'd love to see these being built... I'd honestly try to petition for them but I don't think I'd find support and I have no idea how to organize anything like this...
Are there any EU programs that provide funding for such projects in the region? Are there any potentially simpler, low-cost solutions we can implement on a local level?
This is a very informative and important video... but I don't think there are free collared-peccaries in Netherlands, neither toco-toucan and golden-lion-tamarin in Singapore.
Why does this video only talk about animal lives and not also mention how much human lives it can save, and how much money and health it saves in preventing wildlife related accidents?
Lmao they could just solve the fish problem by building the bridge above the water but making a tunnel underwater is cooler I suppose! I wish they made it out of glass!

Yes!!

this deserves so many more views and comments, it's ridiculous
Thank you 🙏🙌

This channel inspires us to fight climate crisis
How inspirational are these bridges! I'm in awe of these designs. What a great channel you have. Thank you
Thank you so much!

Thank you!

This is a great video to pair with the Illinois 2023 Monarch Award Book called Crossings: Extraordinary Structures for Extraordinary Animals.
The Netherlands really are on a different level compared to the rest of the EU
Agreed!
Love this

Yes exactly!
here in 🇳🇱 we have animal bridges and tunnels for years all across the country there really effective
They are awesome!
Woke
@@dajoker8998 why is that woke?
The Netherlands is gay

Great idea, we need a duck crossing! 😆
Thank you for advertising your channel on Instagram! I might not have found it otherwise. Really like stuff like this
Thank you!
Only a first world country can be this thoughtful toward Animals. MAGNIFICENT!
Amazing!!!!
Same for humans though. Humans need to move about to find mates too. 😏😏😏😏😏😏🤔
@BirdBaily Yes. There are bridges for humans. The travel is being lessened for us though.

Awesomeness!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Love your content ❤️

Actually much of the work on the Eco-Link@BKE was by Landscape Architects. No Toucans or Golden Lion Tamarin in Singapore either.
Really enjoy your content brother.
Thank you!
That’s not a bridge that’s a Battle Arena
Humans: Wow a movie!
... and provide nourishment for predators.

that a good idea, but I think you will need several in one airier.
The fences funnel the animals towards the bridges
oh OK
Lmao they could just solve the fish problem by building the bridge above the water but making a tunnel underwater is cooler I suppose! I wish they made it out of glass!
@@maryhillebrand7502 oh. I dont know how i missed that... Thank you for sorting out my confusion! But I still want the tunnel to be glass xD
Hey, It's my favorite game
I’ve seen cats camp these spots cause they funnel prey.
Are the animals 🤞 Ng available for hunting?
I don't like my phone being controlled by someone else
Damn Right!
