Dusky langurs start using new canopy bridge in Malaysia's Penang Island
Reported byMongabay ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Endangered dusky langurs successfully began using an artificial canopy bridge made from repurposed fire hoses in Penang Island within two months of installation in April 2026, faster than expected. The Langur Project Penang has now installed three such bridges to help primates safely cross fragmented habitats caused by urban development.
Malaysia has lost more than half its forest cover since 1900; bridges address symptoms of habitat fragmentation rather than reversing the underlying development pressure.
