'Canal & River Trust'는 사람들에게 동물 보호에 대해 계도하는 영국의 환경단체다.

이 단체는 잉글랜드와 웨일즈의 3,200km의 수로 운하등에 대한 유지관리 책임을

맡고 있다.

최근에 야생 동물보호에 대한 특별한 작업을 했는데 바로 '오리레인' 만들기다.

수로를 따라서 하얀색으로 경계선과 오리그림이 그려져 있는 이 독특한 작업은 오리

등 새들을 보호하기 위한 작업의 일환이다.

The Canal & River Trust is an ecological charity that is encouraging people to be mindful of the animals that share our environment. This organization is responsible for maintaining over 2,000 miles of busy waterways in both England and Wales. Alongside these canals, there are designated paths where you will find cyclists, walkers, boaters, fishermen, and even horses pulling boats across the water. To remind citizens that they must safely and considerately spend time beside these bodies of water, the trust has made their motto “share the space; drop your pace; it’s a special place."

To hit this point home, Canal & River Trust recently created a special lane that is specifically for birds, ensuring that local wildlife is protected and accounted for. These duck lanes are marked off by a white line, a stenciled silhouette of a duck, and the hashtag #sharethespace. “We’ve painted in duck lanes on the tow path, just to highlight that there’s only so much space you can share and actually probably ducks need the priority,” Dick Vincent, a London Towpath Ranger told Ruptly.
