A Clouded Leopard in the Middle of the Road is an eye-opening
introduction to the ecological impacts of roads. Drawing on over
ten years of active engagement in the field of road ecology, Darryl
Jones sheds light on the challenges roads pose to wildlife—and
the solutions taken to address them. One of the most ubiquitous
indicators of human activity, roads typically promise development
and prosperity. Yet they carry with them the threat of disruption
to both human and animal lives. Jones surveys the myriad,
innovative ways stakeholders across the world have sought to reduce
animal-vehicle collisions and minimize road-crossing risks for
wildlife, including efforts undertaken at the famed fauna
overpasses of Banff National Park, the Singapore Eco-Link, "tunnels
of love" in the Australian Alps, and others. Along the way, he
acquaints readers with concepts and research in road ecology,
describing the field's origins and future directions. Engaging and
accessible, A Clouded Leopard in the Middle of the Road brings to
the foreground an often-overlooked facet of humanity's footprint on
earth.
