Devastating news: Father and son, and animal rescue pilots Matthew and Paul Berkovitz, were killed in a small plane crash in Southern California.
Their beloved dog, Brody, who regularly traveled with them on rescue missions was in the cockpit with them and has also died.
Paul and Matthew were volunteers for Pilots N Paws, helping rescue animals across the USA. They’ve helped save countless animals from euthanasia and were huge animal lovers.
Our sincerest condolences to their family and friends on their tremendous loss.

That’s awesome!!

Colorado has officially unveiled North America’s largest wildlife overpass, a major step forward in protecting both animals and drivers. Built over one of the state’s busiest interstate highways, this massive structure creates a safe passage for animals like elk, deer, and bears that regularly migrate across the region.

For years, this stretch of highway has been a hotspot for dangerous wildlife collisions. Vehicles traveling at high speeds often collided with crossing animals, leading to injuries, fatalities, and significant damage. The new overpass is designed to solve that problem by giving wildlife a natural, uninterrupted route above traffic, reducing the need for risky crossings.

The bridge is carefully engineered to feel like part of the surrounding landscape. Covered with soil, native plants, and natural features, it encourages animals to use it without hesitation. Fencing along the highway also helps guide them toward the crossing, making the system more effective and organized.

This project reflects a growing shift in how infrastructure is built—balancing human needs with environmental responsibility. By reconnecting fragmented habitats and lowering collision rates, Colorado’s wildlife overpass stands as a powerful example of how smart design can protect ecosystems while keeping roads safer for everyone.
