When a road is built in the forest When a road is built in the forest, the dormouse and squirrels When a road is built in the forest, dormouse and squirrels cannot follow it. That’s why we came up with the idea of Animal Pathways.
The materials of Animal-pathway are artificial, but the animals don’t mind using it. It is above the road, so it is safe for cars and people.
Since it is above a road, we made it with the safety of cars and people in mind. For the dormouse at night and the squirrel during the day, the triangular frame and other features are designed for nighttime dormouse and daytime squirrels.
Please see the animation to see how it is designed.
