Critically endangered possum uses two different types of canopy bridges to cross forestry roads
The tiny Leadbeater’s possum is critically endangered from a combination of habitat destruction, timber harvesting, the effects of high-intensity forest fires, and habitat fragmentation from roads and fire-breaks. We tested two different designs of canopy bridges across roads in their forest habitat and both were used, reducing the risk of predation by terrestrial predators and wildlife-vehicle collision.
