Epic Yellowstone Migrations Gain New Bipartisan Protection

Every year, thousands of animals migrate across the great Yellowstone national park, so as to relocate to areas for the purpose of reproduction as well as food availability. However, due to the development of human settlements in this ecological region, their paths are often blocked by fences, highways, and houses. Many animals have been injured due to the obstacles, for example, in 2016, a pronghorn caught its leg in a barbed wire fence. To rectify this problem, one solution the park developed was the implementing of wildlife bridges, to allow them safe passage across highways. The endangerment of these animals is not a problem that can be solved by one organization alone, the concepts of bipartisanship and cooperation (essential to the study of environmental science), greatly aided in this such improvement.
