A Sumatran orangutan has been filmed for the first time crossing a man-made canopy bridge constructed to help the endangered animals bypass a tarred road on the Indonesian island, an NGO said Sunday.

While other species including gibbons and long-tailed macaques have also been spotted crossing there, “this is a world first for Sumatran orangutans,”

“These canopy bridges demonstrate that human development and wildlife don’t have to be at odds. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective,”

The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies Sumatran orangutans (…) as critically endangered,
