Maine turtle tunnel welcomes its first endangered Blanding's turtle
Original: A brand-new Maine turtle tunnel hosts its very first endangered Blandings Turtle
A newly built turtle tunnel in Maine has recorded its first crossing by an endangered Blanding's turtle. The underpass is designed to let turtles safely cross roads instead of risking traffic, and conservation groups say the first confirmed use is an encouraging sign the project can reduce roadkill and protect the rare species.
Why now: Wildlife conservation projects that show early success tend to draw attention, especially when they protect an endangered species.
