💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐒🧬 Biologist Fernanda Abra and Reconecta partnered with Waimiri Atroari Indigenous people and landowners in #AltaFloresta to install canopy #bridges over Brazilian #highways. The multilayered rope bridges have logged more than 15,000 #animal crossings with zero roadkill, used by #primates, #sloths, #opossums and other small #mammals. #Brazil´s #transport agency has now adopted the #design as a national standard for highways. 👉 https://news.mongabay.com/2026/07/zero-roadkill-as-amazon-canopy-bridges-secure-15000-crossings/ #wildlife #animals #amazon #monkeys #conservation #biology #waimiriatroari #science #engineering #nature #indigenouspeoples #safety

The #US airstrikes hit #bridges overnight into Friday in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, killing at least 7 people, #Iran state TV reported. The attacks hit Bandar Khamir, a city on Iran’s coast on the #StraitOfHormuz. The #highway & #railway bridge strikes appeared aimed at cutting off Bandar Abbas, Iran’s main port, from roads leading to Tehran. #Trump #Congress #law #WarPowers #TrumpsWar #IranWar #WarCrimes #civilian #infrastructure #MiddleEast #RulesOfWar #InternationalLaw
