Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature Canada built bridges for bears, and the bears used them. At the time, critics called it a waste of money and editorials opined that animals would never use them. Fortunately, animals don't read opinion pieces. Since monitoring began, wildlife have used Banff's crossings more than 250,000 documented times. The results were not subtle. Wildlife-vehicle collisions dropped by more than 80% overall. For elk and deer, they dropped by more than 96%.
