Vehicles stop on
Interstate 40 as a mother
bear leads her cubs into
four lanes of traffic for a
safe passage that defies
the norm on this 28-mile
stretch of highway.

are concerned about an even bigger issue
called the " barrier effect. " When a species
finally stops trying to cross the road at all,
the highway has become a barrier and the
species may be at risk of extirpation.
" This is because the habitat is now
fragmented, " says Hunter, " preventing
the healthy genetic exchange that species
need to thrive. "
One step at a time
" Human roads have negatively affected
where wild animals live, " says Kim Delozier of Appalachian Bear Rescue, a facil-
ity that takes in orphan cubs just
outside of Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Townsend,
Tennessee. " It is our responsibility to do our best to minimize
these impacts and help these wild
creatures travel safely where they live.
The need for wildlife crossings warrants
the effort and money necessary to make
it happen. "
It's been nearly four years since Detwiler captured the bear crossing video.
In that time, the Jersey barrier that divides I-40 has been increased in height
by several feet.
" Our research in the Pigeon River Gorge is now in its final stages,
and we don't have all the answers
yet, " says NPCA's Hunter. " But one
thing we do know is that collaborative partnerships like Safe Passage are critical to finding the best path forward. "
