Scientists are advocating for the construction of canopy bridges to aid in the recovery of bushbaby populations affected by deforestation. Bushbabies, once common in South Africa, are now classified as 'near threatened' due to habitat loss and human threats. Researchers Frank Cuozzo and Michelle Sauther highlight the alarming decline in bushbaby numbers, exacerbated by road traffic and the illegal pet trade. Canopy bridges could provide safe passage across roads, but conservation efforts are hindered by a lack of funding.
