Camera shows Sumatra orangutan using a canopy bridge to cross a road for the firs time
A Sumatran orangutan has been filmed using a human-made canopy bridge to cross a public road for the first time. This significant event highlights the challenges faced by critically endangered orangutans due to habitat loss and human conflict. Conservationists are hopeful that the installation of these bridges will help restore connectivity for the species.
- ▪The orangutan was filmed crossing a canopy bridge that spans the Lagan–Pagindar road in Pakpak Bharat district.
- ▪This marks the first documented case of a Sumatran orangutan using an artificial canopy bridge to cross a public road.
- ▪Conservationists installed five canopy bridges to help arboreal animals cross above traffic, as natural crossings were eliminated by road upgrades.
