Collision Course

The Narwhal
CBC

Collision Course is a multimedia series investigating the longstanding issue of how wildlife — like elk, grizzly bears, and deer – are struck by trains.

The series was reported and produced in partnership between The Narwhal and CBC, supplemented with data analysis, visualizations, and promotional support from the GRC and Howard Center.
