Canopy Bridges in Alta Floresta Enable 15,000 Wildlife Crossings With Zero Roadkill
Eight artificial canopy bridges installed in Alta Floresta, Brazil enabled 15,000 safe crossings for arboreal wildlife. A 15-month study recorded zero roadkill at these specific sites. This local project shows promise, though the zero roadkill figure applies only to the monitored bridges and not the entire road network.
Why it matters
Roads often fragment habitats and kill arboreal animals, and this local data provides evidence that canopy bridges can effectively maintain safe wildlife corridors.
