“From the first day I went out there and discovered the problem, putting an end to it motivated me, no matter how long it took’’, said Aresco while talking about how to make safe passageways for turtles. Making safe crossings for turtles, tortoises, and other reptiles should be very important so that animals can walk around without having a possibility of dying. If underpasses were to be made, cars would also be safer and less animals would be killed.
When it is a turtles or snakes first time crossing a road it is very hard for them not to be killed because of their speed. Studies say that 98% of turtles are killed when crossing, which would make sense because of how slow they can be.
