Bridges designed solely for cute monkeys to use
A group of Brazilian monkeys will now be able to safely cross a busy road and access more forest after a bridge was specially built for them.
The state’s Atlantic Forest is the only wild place in the world where the threatened species still exists. It comes after a yellow fever outbreak in 2018 wiped out 32% of the population in 2018 – leaving just 2,500 of the monkeys in the wild. Luis Paulo Marques Ferraz, executive director of the metapopulation project working to protect the numbers of golden lion tamarins, said: ‘Scientists have shown that the population living there would be completely isolated from the other side of the road and that would create a real problem in terms of conservation.‘Genetically that population would be isolated and that is really bad.Conservation groups estimate that the monkeys have lost 95% of their original habitat in Brazil.
