    •differfacets of public participation in highway-wildlife connectivity mitigation projects
    •case studies from partnerships across North America that highlight successful on-the-ground implementation of ecological and engineering solutions
    •recinnovative highway-wildlife mitigation developments Detailed case studies span a range of scales, from site-specific wildlife crossing structures, to statewide planning for habitat connectivity, to national legislation.
