Over, under, around or through?
 One of the current issues in wildlife management is the fragmentation of important habitat. As human populations increase, so do residential development and traffic volumes. Additional development comes with consequences, good and bad. One of the major consequences researchers investigate today is the effect of roads and traffic on wildlife movement and survivability. So how do animals navigate these challenges? Wildlife crossings can take many forms and can help a variety of animals stay safe in a motorized world.

Spring is a good time to view sage-grouse
It's a great time to view sage-grouse in Wyoming. Each spring male sage-grouse perform an elaborate sunrise display on communal breeding grounds known as leks. While sage-grouse require sagebrush landscapes to survive, leks are often located in open areas where the males can be better seen and heard by females.
