Wildlife relies on the ability to move freely through the landscape (referred to by scientists as "ecological connectivity") to maintain healthy populations and adapt to a changing climate. Examples from the Northern Rockies and across the globe will illustrate the challenges that wildlife faces as landscapes are increasingly fragmented by roads, pipelines, residential development, and other human land uses. We will also discuss how science is providing solutions such as wildlife corridors and crossing structures. *
