Helping animals cross the road and other obstacles

Irrigation pipes that double as mid-air walkways for slow lorises in Java, and a footbridge for rare monkeys in Brazil show how we can help wild animals cope with human obstacles.

Irrigation pipes have been designed to double as mid-air walkways to help slow lorises cross open farmland in Indonesia; and a footbridge has been built for a rare breed of monkey in Brazil - the golden lion tamarin. These are just two examples of new infrastructure designed to help wild animals cope with human obstacles.
