How Did the Possum Cross the Road?

"Hi! I'm Lily Possum!"

With each passing day the possum kingdom dwindles due to man's hands on the helm of development. What were once nooks and safe havens for possums, as well as other wildlife, are slowly vanishing…

So how did the possum cross the road? This is no joke, because sadly the possum usually doesn't make it to the other side of the road. Developments that painfully carve through a possum's - as well as other wildlife's foraging areas, force millions of hungry critters to venture out of their vacant pantries to almost certain deaths.

Sadly, when developments are created the expensive offerings are generally grouped near a body of water. Water is an equally important survivor substance as food for all wildlife.

What can we do to save our vanishing wildlife and to curb the useless deaths of these defenseless wanderers of the night?

For one, we need to discourage urban sprawl and encourage our towns and cities to utilize property that has been previously developed. Make improvements, renovate existing structures, and building near the mainstream of the city would all work toward keeping our wildlife in safe hands, Mother Nature's hands.
