Eco-Bridges

🔹 About: 

1. Aim: to enhance wildlife connectivity that can be disrupted because of highways or logging

2. These include canopy bridges (usually for monkeys, squirrels and other arboreal species); concrete underpasses or overpass tunnels or viaducts (usually for larger animals); and amphibian tunnels or culverts.

3. Usually, these bridges are overlaid with planting from the area to give it a contiguous look with the landscape.

🔹 Importance:

1. Reduce man-animal conflict.

2. It is an awareness-building mechanism for this very congested tourist route.

3. They can preserve the ecosystem necessary for reptiles that feed on insects, for snakes that feed on reptiles, and for eagles that feed on snakes.
