🌱 me revoilà après une longue pause ! 🌱 Avec une commande d'Orite à longue queue ! Un tout petit oiseau de moins de 10g, qui se déplace toujours en groupes familiaux ! L'Orite construit des nids très élaborés, entièrement faits de mousses et lichens qu'elle tisse avec de la soie d'araignée ! Un chef-d'œuvre 🤩 Avec son minuscule bec trapu, elle nourrit principalement de petits invertébrés 🐛🕷️ qu'elle chasse sur l'écorce des arbres, souvent la tête en bas ! . 🌱 N'hésitez pas à me confier vos projets naturalistes ! 🌱 . . #nature #wildlife #wild #wildlifepainting #naturaliste #biidiversite #bio #ecologie #ecology #bird #birds #ornithologie #birding #birdwatching

“This was the moment we had been waiting for,” Erwin Alamsyah Siregar, executive director of Indonesian conservation group Tangguh Hutan Khatulistiwa, or TaHuKah, told The Associated Press. “We are very grateful that the canopy here provides benefits for orangutan #conservation efforts.” #SumatraOrangutan #WildlifeConservation #wildlife #habitat #HumanEncroachment #HabitatFragmentation

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

Camera shows #SumatraOrangutan using a canopy bridge to cross a road in #Indonesia A Sumatran orangutan has been filmed for the first time using a human-made canopy bridge to cross a public road on the Indonesian island of #Sumatra, conservationists said Monday. Rapid development has been shrinking the #jungle #habitat of the critically #EndangeredSpecies, & fatal conflicts with people have been increasing. #WildlifeConservation #wildlife #HabitatFragmentation https://apnews.com/article/orangutan-crosses-canopy-bridge-indonesia-sumatra-9015f59ef2c9223e60ea7a749ff2a2ee

I had a visit from this feathery boy. Or maybe she's girl. Just sat patiently while I got very close for the photo. I suspect that they were waiting for a snack. Lots of people in my street like to feed the birds. But I had nothing suitable and there was no way I was sharing my hot buttered raisin toast. #Birds #Wildlife
