Fauna Crossings
Fauna crossings are structures that allow wildlife to safely cross over roads, railways, and other human-made barriers.
These crossings are essential for preserving biodiversity and preventing animal fatalities caused by human infrastructure.
Some of the benefits of fauna crossings include:
• Reducing animal fatalities: Fauna crossings help to reduce the number of animal deaths caused by vehicles, trains, and other human-made barriers.
• Preserving biodiversity: By providing a safe passage for wildlife, fauna crossings help to maintain the balance of ecosystems and preserve biodiversity.
• Enhancing habitat connectivity: Fauna crossings allow animals to move freely between different habitats, promoting gene flow and helping to prevent inbreeding.
• Improving ecological processes: By allowing animals to move freely, fauna crossings can help to maintain natural ecological processes such as seed dispersal and predator-prey dynamics.
• Providing economic benefits: Fauna crossings can also provide economic benefits by reducing the cost of animal control measures and damages to infrastructure.
Overall, fauna crossings play a crucial role in conserving wildlife and the natural environment, and their benefits extend far beyond just protecting individual animals.
Shade Co Australia manufactures and installs three types of fauna crossings to provide safe passage for wildlife: Flat Rope, Box Rope Cage, and Aluminum Flat Crossings.
1. Flat Rope Ladder - This crossing is specifically designed for various species of glider and ringtail possum.
2. Box Rope Cage Crossing - This crossing allows marsupials to glide and land on the top, and provides protection from predators by
allowing the animals to quickly dive into the box when threatened.
3. Aluminum Flat Crossing - This crossing has a longer lifespan compared to the other two types.
Flat Rope Ladder and Box Rope Cage Crossings are the preferred choices for fauna bridge crossings. Flat Rope Ladders can range in length from 50 to 80 meters and are built in 10-meter segments for ease of installation.
