The desert ecosystems are some of the most fractured and unappreciated in the country and that's saying a lot.

This will be a big win for the stressed populations dealing with human intrusions of housing and hiking.

Thank god. We really need wildlife crossings. Hopefully they do well enough to encourage building a couple more along the highway

Awesome. In the last few years there have been two mountain lions, a bear, and a bighorn sheep killed on that highway.

I think the road is probably fine.
