Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has announced the launch of its Nature Force initiative in Quebec, focusing on restoring wetlands and aquatic environments along the Lorette River. This project aims to mitigate flood risks, enhance climate resilience, and protect biodiversity in the region.
Wildlife crossings, such as tunnels and bridges, have proven effective in reducing animal-vehicle collisions, protecting animal populations, and promoting ecosystem connectivity. Researcher Patricia Cramer highlights the importance of these structures and shares insights into how different species interact and adapt to their presence. Funding opportunities and climate change impacts make this an opportune time for the development of climate-informed wildlife crossings.
