Repost, but an article came up about one in California .

I've seen a few rewilding campaigns in my community (Northeastern US) take shape over the last few years, and it makes me have a little hope. What with everything, all the time, I like when good news slips through.

The unfortunate thing with these is a lot of the times they don't even consult with biologists when considering the placement. Engineers just find the most convenient location / cheapest location to build and think the animals will use it but they often end up in a spot the animals don't really go to.

Despite there being very obvious game trails just down the highway.

So a lot of them are just expensive feel-good tourist eco green washing type propaganda.
