秘魯亞馬遜地區的一項研究表明，人工樹冠橋對於保護樹棲野生動物、減輕棲息地破碎化的威脅非常重要。這些低成本的橋梁可防止野生動物與車輛發生碰撞，並有助於減少遺傳隔離。研究人員設置了紅外線相機，以便更深入了解猴子、樹懶等物種的攀爬行為，並判斷哪些橋樑設計最適合牠們，因為有些動物會跳躍，有些則會在樹枝間移動。
A study in the Peruvian Amazon shows that artificial canopy bridges are important for protecting arboreal wildlife from the dangers of habitat fragmentation. These low-cost corridors help prevent wildlife–vehicle collisions and reduce genetic isolation. Camera traps were set up to help scientists gain deeper insight into the climbing behaviors of species such as monkeys and sloths and to determine which bridge designs are most suitable for them, since some animals jump while others move from branch to branch.
