To safeguard Hoolock Gibbons, a unique overhead bridge was built in Jorhat.

In Assam, innovative measures have been implemented to safeguard endangered species. A specialized overhead bridge in Jorhat now allows Hoolock Gibbons to safely cross railway tracks, mitigating risks from high-speed trains and electrification wires. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced plans to expand similar structures across the state to protect local fauna and biodiversity.

Additionally, earlier this year, four loop bridges were installed in Bongaigaon district for Golden Langurs to safely cross busy roadways, addressing threats posed by infrastructure. These bridges act as wildlife corridors, enabling primates to move freely while avoiding dangerous encounters with vehicles.
