Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure what you mean by a "significant amount" of green bridges. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
• Deer-vehicle collisions cause thousands of injuries and dozens of fatalities annually, with one source estimating around 74,000 deer involved in collisions each year.
• Wildlife crossings significantly reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by 85% to 95% with the help of fencing.
• For example, a highway in Colorado saw a 90% decrease in animal collisions after installing seven crossings, two overpasses, and five underpasses.
