He said that the bridge spans the Lagan–Pagindar road in Pakpak Bharat district, a vital corridor connecting remote villages to schools, healthcare & government services. But the road also cuts directly through prime #orangutan #habitat, splitting an estimated 350 #orangutans into two isolated forest areas: the Siranggas Wildlife Reserve & the Sikulaping Protection Forest. #SumatraOrangutan #WildlifeConservation #wildlife #HumanEncroachment #HabitatFragmentation

When the road was upgraded in 2024, the gap in the forest canopy widened, eliminating natural crossings for tree‑dwelling #wildlife. “Development was necessary for people,” Siregar said. “But without intervention, it would have left #orangutans trapped on either side.” TaHuKah, working with the #SumatranOrangutan Society, or SOS, & local & national government agencies, proposed a simple solution: rope bridges suspended between trees, allowing arboreal animals to cross above traffic.

5 canopy bridges were installed each with a camera trap, carefully positioned after surveys of #orangutan nests, forest cover & animal movement. The structures were designed to support the orangutan’s weight—no small feat for the world’s largest tree‑dwelling mammal. The program is closely monitored, with camera traps on every bridge & regular patrols to prevent forest encroachment. Conservationists hope more #orangutans will follow the first pioneer. #SumatraOrangutan #conservation #wildlife

#News Sumatran #orangutan uses a rope to cross a road between two tiny patches of forest. Article fails to mention: RAINFORESTS ARE MOSTLY GONE in #Sumatra from #palmoil. If you care for #orangutans TAKE ACTION! #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife 🌴 ☠️ ⛔ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/25/first-footage-endangered-sumatran-orangutan-using-canopy-bridge-cross-road-hope-species-aoe?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer

#Sumatran #Orangutans are critically #endangered due to #palmoil #deforestation 🦧🧡. 80% of their rainforest habitat has been destroyed in 20 years. Protect them when u #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife 🌴🔥🪔⛔️ @palmoildetectives@mastodonapp.uk https://palmoildetectives.com/2021/01/19/sumatran-orangutan-pongo-abelii/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer https://palmoildetectives.com/2021/01/19/sumatran-orangutan-pongo-abelii/

#News: 🧐🦧 #Study of #orangutans shows they avoid #obesity by resting when food is scarce and balancing protein perfectly. We can learn so much from them!

Illegal #wildlife #crime is rampant in #Indonesia, from #birds to #orangutans, to coral. #Trafficking online is worth $852.6mil USD per year.
