Adorable Monkeys Are Using Man-Made Canopy Bridges in the Amazon To Stay Away from Traffic

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) recently released footage showing several different species of monkey using man-made canopy bridges in the Amazon region of Madre de Dios in Peru.

The WWF said conservationists were “working to bridge fragmented ecosystems due to road development that have cut through forests and disrupted the landscape.”

According to the WWF, “a single road can isolate an animal from shelter, feeding resources and potential mates, hampering daily life and dividing species into distinct subpopulations, which can diminish genetic diversity.”

This video shows several species of monkey traveling across the bridges, including a Weddell’s saddle-back tamarin, black-capped capuchin, and Colombian red howler, the WWF said.
