The Greenland Wildlife Overpass will make it safe for animals to cross Colorado's I-25 highway (Credit: CDOT/ Public Domain)

Thousands of elk, deer, and other large animals move across Colorado each year. They graze in the lowlands during winter and return to the mountains in summer. But their paths often cross busy highways. This can make their migrations very dangerous. One of the most hazardous spots is Interstate 25 between the towns of Larkspur and Monument. More than 100,000 vehicles pass there every day. With six lanes cutting through thousands of acres of wildlife habitat, collisions between animals and cars are all too common.

        Its about time humans think of protecting and sharing living space on earth. Now if we can outlaw and ban trophy hunting.

          hunting keeps the population in check and funds antipoching efforts

          As a man rather fond of elk and deer, I pray this keeps them safe.
