Crossings

In 'Crossings,' Ben Goldfarb delves into the burgeoning field of road ecology, detailing how roads have transformed the planet and the lives of both humans and wildlife.

The book highlights the extensive ecological damage caused by roads, including roadkill, habitat fragmentation, and noise pollution.

Goldfarb travels globally to investigate how roads affect various species and ecosystems, and he introduces readers to the scientists and conservationists working to develop innovative solutions such as wildlife crossing structures.

The book also explores the social and environmental impacts of roads on human communities, particularly in urban areas, and discusses potential remedies like demolishing harmful urban highways and implementing more sustainable infrastructure designs.
