How effective are canopy bridges really?

Wildlife crossing over roads often leads to fatal accidents, especially for animals that live in tree canopies. Canopy bridges aim to provide a safe passage for these creatures, but their long-term success has been under scrutiny. A recent study analyzed three years of video footage from camera traps placed along these bridges to assess their effectiveness. The findings suggest that while canopy bridges are beneficial, their impact on reducing roadkill varies, indicating a need for more tailored approaches to better protect forest wildlife.
