In our neck of the woods, whitetail deer dead on the highways is a common sight. Needless to say, the smaller animals like squirrels, raccoons, possums, groundhogs, foxes, and sometimes even the birds hardly stand a stance.
So we started a Facebook community to attract like-minded people who were passionate about wildlife. As we looked for ways to make an impact, we explored road signage, car magnets and messaging, and now we’re embracing all of it as wildlife corridors are also gaining traction here in the U.S.
We are enthusiastic supporters of wildllife crossings and have created this website to highlight the Wildlife Corridors Conservation Act and the many ecobridge and ecocorridor projects going on in the United States to help this idea gain momentum.
Know of other wildlife bridges not mentioned here? Let us know!
Like to write? Would love to hear from wildlife bloggers with focus on wildlife corridors. (Byline only, no compensation, sorry.)

KENNERLY CLAY
Her heart bleeds and her pen writes. Founder, writer, adorer of animals, and mostly vegan. Kennerly is committed to a country where animals have safe habitat and safe passage, and a planet that thrives and supports all life.
Whenever she drove past the dead animals on the highways and back roads of eastern Pennsylvania,, she wasn’t sure what, and she wasn’t sure when, but she knew she would have to do something other than bitterly complain to herself about it all the time.
Thanks to the enthusiastic engagement of the Give Wildlife a Brake community and the Give Pennsylvania Wildlife a Brake community, Kennerly has become even more emboldened by the possibility of a roadkill-free future. She envisions a 21st century in which the unnecessary and painful death of a million animals a day becomes a thing of the past thanks to progressive thinking and eco-engineering along with compassionate, committed action by human beings who treasure wildlife.
SOFIA GARCIA
When Sofia moved from Texas to Pennsylvania in 2023, she was shocked and devastated by the number of animals killed on the roads and the indifference with which people seemed to view it. This experience ignited her passion for wildlife advocacy, and she is now dedicated to raising awareness about the need for safer road systems for all creatures.
Sofia is a proud cat mom to four beautiful kitties—Estrellita, Luna, Fitzy, and Zinny—and a lifelong lover of all wildlife. She is also working toward becoming an animal and environmental lawyer, aiming to help create a more compassionate and sustainable world for animals.
