A Hoolock Gibbon, India's only ape species, was recently seen using a specially built canopy bridge. This structure helps protect endangered primates crossing railway tracks in Assam's Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary. The bridge, installed a year ago, allows arboreal animals to move safely above ground. This initiative showcases science-led conservation efforts in the state.
