        When people build villages and roads, wildlife habitats are  broken into smaller patches                                                                                      .


        Wildlife corridors connect these areas. They provide access to food, water, and shelter, and


        help animals                  be safe and find mates                           . The Mount Kenya Elephant Underpass and


        Corridor lets  two groups of elephants                                          interact. Elephants use it more than 1,000 times a



        year. In Banff National Parks, there are fences,  underpasses, and overpasses                                                                           along the


        Trans-Canada Highway. They have reduced                                                    wildlife accidents                       by four-fifths. The


        bee highway in Oslo, Norway, helps honey bees                                                             move safely                          through the city.
