Wild orangutans caught on camera using an 'artificial bridge' for the first time

Conservation groups and local authorities built five canopy bridges over a road in North Sumatra to reconnect fragmented forest habitat.

A wild Sumatran orangutan was later filmed using one of the bridges to cross safely between forest areas for the first time.

The footage highlights a practical, low-cost way to reduce road danger and improve wildlife movement.

It shows how habitat connectivity measures can help protect orangutans and support broader conservation efforts.
