Landscaping of a new wildlife overpass: small changes make big differences to benefit biodiversity.

To strength cooperation between civil engineers and wildlife experts can bring powerful benefits to both biodiversity conservation and road infrastructure quality and durability. Small changes designed during the construction process of a new overpass in a Mediterranean area allow the overpass to play a key role not only as a crossing for terrestrial mammals as planned originally, but also as habitat for several small taxa, particularly pollinators. Drainage systems and screening have also benefit from changes.
