A GIANT victory for World Anteater Day! 🙌
A few years ago, this stretch of highway in Brazil was known as the “Highway of Death” – one of the most dangerous roads in South America.
But now we're super proud to say, thanks to years of dedication from our partners Instituto de Conservação de Animais Silvestres - ICAS - and with our support - wildlife tunnels are finally being built beneath it to give giant anteaters a brighter future.
Together we’re also helping protect and monitor giant anteaters that use these tunnels, while creating new road signage to keep both animals and drivers safe in this area.
The best bit? Ten more tunnels, 85km of fencing and seven more bridges are being built thanks to ongoing campaigning by ICAS who have also helped identify collision hotspots - so that tunnels are built where they are needed most 🌎 💚
