The first wildlife overpass was constructed by the Canadian government in Banff National Park in 1982 to reduce wildlife collisions. Till 2022, six overpasses and 38 underpasses have been constructed across Banff, reducing wildlife collisions by 80 percent. The project started with opposition and criticism from the public doubting whether animals would use the structure.

Nature-Based Solutions Case Study Search
This database contains over 400 implementations of nature-based solutions. Use the filters to identify the case studies most relevant to you.
While all cases here exemplify applications of NBS strategies, they were gathered from various sources and not all were written using the framing of nature-based solutions. To qualify as a nature-based solution, a project must provide benefits to both people and nature. In some instances, the human benefits are present but not emphasized in the case write ups; these cases were included because they still provide useful information to learn from.

Non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) cause widespread ecological damage throughout European waterways. They negatively impact native species through competition, predation, and disease transmission. The Swiss Coordination Office for Crayfish was formed in 2014 to address this issue in Swiss waterways by conducting research, informing local governments, and informing the public.

This project was initiated by BC Wildlife Services (BCWS) in 2019 to evaluate the degree to which fuel treatments have been effective in changing wildfire behavior. Two fuel treatments were studies: 1) manual treatment of older stands involving stand thinning, debris disposal + pruning, and 2) broadcast burning after timber harvesting.
