A million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill. Creatures from antelope to salmon are losing their ability to migrate in search of food and mates; invasive plants hitch rides in tyre treads; road salt contaminates lakes and rivers; and the very noise of traffic chases songbirds from vast swathes of habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet road ecologists are also seeking to blunt the destruction through innovative solutions.
