Since 1973, the Endangered Species Act has prohibited the ‘take’ of endangered species. A new USFWS memo drastically reinterprets what falls under that definition.

wildlife.org

New memo excludes accidental killings from ‘take’ definition - The Wildlife Society

The memo reinterprets federal law, further weakening key protections for endangered and threatened species

This is what it looks like to take wildlife collisions seriously. There are >40 wildlife overpasses and underpasses with fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Alberta. They’ve reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, saving human & animal lives while promoting connected ecosystems.

Cars pass under a vegetated wildlife overpass along the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
