The world’s largest wildlife overpass just got its first elk visitors
Colorado is home to more than 100 wildlife overpass structures, and its newest one, which opened in December, is currently the largest in the world. It was completed in less than a year, “ahead of schedule and on budget.”
The Greenland Wildlife Overpass was designed specifically for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn, who are both abundant in the area and are notoriously distrustful of underpasses and enclosed tunnels.
Six months after it officially opened, the first three elk were recorded using the crossing, safely crossing six lanes of highway. Officials celebrated the historic crossing, saying it’s proof “the new structure is working!”
Why is this good news? The Pew Research Center estimates that 1 million to 2 million wildlife-vehicle collisions occur each year in the United States, leading to about 200 deaths, 26,000 injuries, and more than $8 billion in associated costs. These solutions protect both animals and humans in their travels — whether on four legs or in a vehicle.
A new report showed people gave US charities $617 billion in 2025
Despite economic uncertainty and volatility in the U.S., donations to charity rose by an inflation-adjusted 3% in 2025 — the third time in the last four years that came in with double-digit increases in giving.
Donors gave $617 billion to charities across the U.S. last year, and giving increased in all categories, from corporations and living individuals to bequests and foundations.
Bequests alone jumped by nearly 17%, the third time in the last four years that form of giving came in at a double-digit increase, which analysts say could signal the start of the “Great Wealth Transfer” of baby boomers passing along their enormous wealth.
