In "Crossings," Ben Goldfarb examines the extensive impact of roads on our planet, uncovering consequences beyond roadkill. With 40 million miles of global roadways, these structures affect wildlife migration, introduce invasive species, and contribute to environmental issues. Goldfarb explores solutions by road ecologists, including wildlife bridges and community initiatives, prompting a reconsideration of our relationship with roads and their influence on the natural world. "Crossings" advocates for a more sustainable future by addressing ecological challenges posed by the expanding global road network.
