If we have fewer than 12 vehicles per day on a road, and so this can be industrial use or whatever, the elk and grizzly bears are all over those roads.    But when you exceed that threshold,  they avoid those roads by as much as 2 kilometers.  And so there are vast areas of habitat that are lost as a consequence of having ungated roads where there&#8217;s unbridled recreational use of the roads.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to Dr. Boyce, the study demonstrated more than 90 percent of people will respect gates to protect wildlife.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><b><br \/>\nListen to the full interview with Dr. Mark Boyce at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02013-06-20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner of the <b>Shared Footprints Award<\/b> at the 2013 Emerald Awards for Environmental Excellence was <b>The Montane Elk Project<\/b> in southern Alberta.
