Road ecology blog: Black-pencilled marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) use canopy crossing, ESALQ campus, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil.

The canopy crossing was installed in 2014 in response to one or more marmosets being killed by vehicles at this location. While the canopy bridge is quite simple (canvas strap) it is being used by some of the marmosets.
