One of the greatest challenges of conserving vernal pool ecosystems is finding ways for these fragile habits to exist alongside the roads, buildings, and other man-made structures that are important to our society. Although there are several ways that the built environment can influence the health of vernal pools, one of the most direct means is by decreasing the ability of amphibians to move across the landscape.
