Why should you support bill A.4243B/S.4198B?

  • Support the Wildlife Crossing Act to help reduce animal-car collisions and increase habitat connectivity in New York State.
  • According to National Geographic, automobiles shockingly kill more than a million animals a day! Wildlife-vehicle collisions result in 29,000 injuries and over 200 fatalities per year in the United States. But wildlife crossings can reduce these collisions by up to 90%.
  • Roads and highways also create habitat fragmentation that can have huge consequences on native wildlife populations. This fragmentation decreases the genetic diversity of populations and can make it more difficult for woodland creates to find food and mates.
  • Finally, federal funding is available to help build these crossings. Therefore, passing this bill would help New York State create jobs by taking advantage of available funds to increase safety for drivers and native animals.
