JAKARTA: (Bernama-Antara) PT Agincourt Resources, the operator of the Martabe Gold Mine in North Sumatra, has set up 13 arboreal bridges fitted with camera traps for tree-dwelling animals to connect forest fragments within the gold mine’s area, reported Antara news agency.
Through arboreal bridges, primates can freely move to other areas, forage, and breed without being hindered by human activities, said Syaiful Anwar, the company's superintendent of environmental site support, in a statement issued on Saturday (Nov 30).
