In response to the suggestion for “orangutan diplomacy” between Malaysia and international partners, MPS shares this statement by our scientific advisor, Dr Felicity Oram, Orangutan Researcher and Conservation Practitioner at SEARRP/Orang Juga:
Out today!🐒 Galea et al. provide recommendations for establishing a pioneering trans-island canopy bridge network across #Langkawi Island, Malaysia, to reduce rates of roadkill and support the movement of #primates across the island: https://t.co/xV8hxhqaxz @DataiLangkawi
In Asia, gibbons are threatened by forest fragmentation due to development like roads and railways. But with support from @largelandscapes, scientists are working on solutions that connect habitat and allow gibbons to move safely through the forest canopy. https://t.co/QdFjT0tN7Y
