A newly built turtle tunnel in Maine has recorded its first endangered Blanding's turtle passing through. The crossing is designed to let turtles safely travel under a road instead of across it, reducing roadkill among the threatened species. Conservation groups are highlighting the moment as early evidence the infrastructure can protect one of the region's rarest reptiles.
