About two weeks ago, the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD) installed video and still cameras on the Oracle Road wildlife bridge and wildlife underpass to document animals using the recently completed structures.
Almost immediately, the cameras began documenting wildlife using these safe passages to cross Oracle Road! This is incredibly encouraging news as habitat is being connected and wildlife can safely move to find resources for survival. It’s a big win for wildlife! We are proud of the partnership with Sky Island Alliance, Tucson Audubon Society, AGFD, Arizona Department of Transportation, and the Regional Transportation Authority that made this possible.
We can’t wait to see what other Sonoran Desert animals will use the wildlife bridge and wildlife underpass.
