Ecological Bridges
The Instituto Costarricense de
Electricidad (ICE) - Costa Rican
Power and Telecommunications
Institution - is placing
“bridges” that enable animals
such as monkeys and sloths,
among others, to move from one
tree to another over roads, in
order to prevent their being run
over by vehicles or receiving
lethal electrical shocks when
trying to cross over power
lines.
The ecological bridges already
placed in southern Costa Rica
have proven successful and wild
animals soon start using them.
