Ecological bridges became a safe passage route for wild animals in Turkey

ISTANBUL, MERSIN, IZMIR, TURKEY - JULY 9: "Ecological bridges" were built on the motorways by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to protect both wild animals and prevent traffic accidents caused by wildlife. Ecological underground and overpasses provide wild animals to move easily. It also contributes to biodiversity. The priority bridge for the wildlife crossing in the south is located on the 30th kilometer of the Tarsus-Pozantı Motorway which connects the Gulek Strait and the Mediterranean Region. An ecological bridge was built in Uskumrukoy in order to allow wild animals to continue their lives without being affected by the highway within the context of the Northern Marmara Motorway Project. Before the construction of the Istanbul-Bursa-Izmir Motorway began, ecological underground and overpasses were constructed considering the ecological corridors determined along the highway route. The construction of the ecological bridge has been completed on the Izmir-Cesme Motorway where wildlife accidents occur in order to provide wildlife continuity and traffic safety.(Footage by Mahmut Serdar Alakuş - Numan Erölmez - Muhammed Enes Yıldırım - Eren Bozkurt Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
