在印尼北蘇門答臘省，道路建設導致森林破碎化。為了讓靈長類動物及其他野生動物能安全穿越道路，當地於樹頂安裝5條繩索橋，希望這些橋能重新連接破碎的棲息地，並減少近親繁殖的機會。到目前為止，一些野生動物，如巨松鼠及蘇門答臘葉猴，都有使用這些索橋的紀錄。
In the North Sumatra province of Indonesia, road building disrupted wildlife connectivity and lead to forest fragmentation. Five canopy bridges were built for primates and other wildlife to cross the roads. Experts hope these bridges can reconnect the fragmented habitats and reduce the chance of inbreeding. So far some wildlife like black giant squirrels and Sumatran langurs have been recorded using these bridges.
