In Australia, we have a similar bridge but on a much simpler scale - a rope bridge that spans the Hume highway (for animals that need a continuous bridge). For our native animals that glide (but can't fly), poles spaced 30m or so accomplish the same goal.

How about New Zealand?

IIRC I heard that some kiwis actively encourage drivers to run over anything that ventures onto the road, since any medium-sized animal that doesn't have wings is an invasive species in New Zealand. Not sure if it was a joke.
