Eco-Bridge
✅Ramnagar Forest Division in Nainital district, Uttarakhand, built its first eco-bridge for reptiles and smaller mammals.
✅Eco-ducts or eco-bridges aim to enhance wildlife connectivity that can be disrupted because of highways or logging.
✅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.
✅With successful integration, eco-bridges can help reduce roadkills on roads and highways significantly.
✅The bridge also acts an awareness-building mechanism for vehicles passing through an ecologically sensitive area.
✅These bridges are a way to see how we can preserve the ecosystem necessary for reptiles that feed on insects, for snakes that feed on reptiles, and for eagles that feed on snakes.
