Canopy bridges for Sumatran Orangutans in West Toba, Northern Sumatra
The emergency
A major road upgrade in West Toba will divide the Sikulaping Protected Forest and Siranggas Wildlife Reserve in North Sumatra. This will prevent arboreal mammals from accessing previously connected patches of natural forest, including Sumatran Orangutan. Mitigation measures are needed to try and ensure that the Sumatran Orangutan population remains as connected as possible.
