💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🧬 Biologist Fernanda Abra and Reconecta partnered with Waimiri Atroari Indigenous people and landowners in #AltaFloresta to install canopy #bridges over Brazilian #highways.
The multilayered rope bridges have logged more than 15,000 #animal crossings with zero roadkill, used by #primates, #sloths, #opossums and other small #mammals. #Brazil´s #transport agency has now adopted the #design as a national standard for highways.
