Wherever humans settle and human habitats expand into the surrounding landscape there will be an inevitable confrontation with the members of encountered ecosystems. More often than not, these confrontations ends in the prevalence of the human habitat, on the expense of the wildlife. These interferences might cause the separation of wildlife populations or prevent the natural migration of certain species. If the design of cities, villages, bridges, dams, roads ect. got us into this mess, can design be deployed to get us out of it?

In the next four blog posts I will be doing a case- study of a type of wildlife corridor – a wildlife corridor being a construction or design that facilitates a connection between habitats that have been separated by human action- that has been intentionally designed to aid the migration of fish in obstructed water streams. The salmon ladder.
