 We have begun building wildlife overpasses over our freeways to allow our mountain lions a chance to improve their biological diversity and to reduce animal strikes.

 Well, you don't have large wildlife anymore.  We need to protect what we have left.  CA is celebrating the return of wolves, the offspring of OR-7, the roaming Romeo.

 Oh, as you definitely should, I was just joking / contrasting. 

I do remember a story about a bigger wildlife corridor-bridge (a mile of so wide and planted with woodland) over a motorway, but can’t remember if it was actual or just planned. Very cool idea, though.

 I think they started in Germany but LA has begun with strategically placed wildlife overpasses on the Ventura Freeway.
