Two state agencies have teamed up to make safer wildlife migration a priority in Utah. The Utah Wildlife Migration Initiative relies heavily on GPS tracking data received from mammals, birds and fish, which gives coordinators a good picture of where animals are spending time, the routes they take, and areas where safe migration routes are needed. It is a joint project of the state s Division of Wildlife Resources and Department of Transportation. .
Fish ladders, bridges, and fences are just a few of the solutions that Utah is slated to build for protecting migrating wildlife from human interference. This will also reduce the incidents of vehicle crashes that result in the death of wildlife. Learn about Utah's efforts here.
