Canopy bridges to facilitate the safe movement of arboreal animals across habitat fragments in Pahang
This project enhances habitat connectivity for arboreal wildlife in urban forest fragments in Kuantan, Pahang through the installation of canopy bridges. It engages local authorities in identifying, designing, and maintaining suitable sites. Monitoring efforts using camera traps and passive acoustic technology help track species presence and movement, particularly vocal species like gibbons, supporting long-term conservation of forest-dependent wildlife in fragmented urban landscapes.
