There were recently many acts that aimed at evading this phenomenon where governments have started to consider not placing roads inside deserts but rather on borders. Also, other acts have been taken as forming ecological corridors that can connect sub-populations of certain species that inhabit patches to allow migration and the transfer of animals; thus, preventing extinction. Moreover, this issue also lead to the reconsideration of the idea of conservation that certain species cannot be conserved using small protected areas and that calls for considering larger areas for species preservation. Some governments tried to give tax incentives to landowners of forest lands who keep their land undeveloped. (Crim, 2002). All of this is accompanied by worldwide call for awareness and educational campaigns about the problem.
