The Evolution of Wildlife Crossings in Eastern Australia and a Guide to 57 Iconic Sites
After 20 years in the road ecology space as a researcher, consultant and practitioner, I’ve published a book about it!
The book – The Evolution of Wildlife Crossings in Eastern Australia and a Guide to 57 Iconic Sites – is the combination of an easy-to-read account of the how, why, where and when wildlife crossing structures emerged in eastern Australia and a Travel Guide to 57 of the most historic, interesting or significant sites. The travel list includes the site of Australia's first canopy rope bridge for rainforest possums on Queensland's Atherton Tablelands; the place of the first wooden glide poles for the enigmatic yellow-bellied glider at Bomaderry Creek in southern NSW; and the site of the mountain pygmy possum 'tunnels of love' in Victoria's high country near Mt Higginbotham.
There are over 200 photos of the sites, the structures, and the wildlife that use them, including photo contributions from Ross Goldingay, Rod van der Ree, Kylie Soanes and many more.
The book is published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing and is available via their website https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-5275-0142-3
