  1. The #AsiaticCheetah used to roam the Arabian Peninsula, the lands around the Caspian Sea, & South Asia. Now, a species once favored by kings prowls only Iran’s eastern desert & is under the constant threat of hunters, speeding highway drivers & wild dogs.

    Still, the cheetah’s survival in #Iran is a source of national pride.

  6. Once widespread across southern #Asia, the animal now only survives on the islands of #Sumatra & #Borneo. Fewer than 14,000 #SumatranOrangutans remain in the wild, alongside just 800 Tapanuli #orangutans & about 104,700 Bornean orangutans, according to #conservation groups.
    “These bridges allow orangutans to move, to mix, to maintain healthy populations,” Siregar said. “It reduces the risk of #extinction.”

  10. Similar bridges have been used by #orangutans elsewhere, but usually over rivers or on private industrial forest road. Conservationists say public roads — noisy, busy & unpredictable — pose a far greater challenge.

    For orangutans, the stakes are high. Isolation leads to inbreeding, genetic weakening & eventual population collapse. Restoring connectivity gives them a chance to survive.

  14. He said that the bridge spans the Lagan–Pagindar road in Pakpak Bharat district, a vital corridor connecting remote villages to schools, healthcare & government services. But the road also cuts directly through prime #orangutan #habitat, splitting an estimated 350 #orangutans into two isolated forest areas: the Siranggas Wildlife Reserve & the Sikulaping Protection Forest.
