- Abstract
The article discusses a study which assessed the performance of Dedin green bridge of Gorski kotar in Croatia, two tunnels and one viaduct as highway crossing structures for large mammals. The movements of mammals such as bears, wolves and lynx were related to the new highway and to all highway objects by radio tracking. The study concluded that this green bridge served its purpose acceptably and it does not seem to be a barrier. It also demonstrated the possibility of maintaining habitat connectivity during the planning process for the highway route.
