Wildlife Rope Bridges
Building canopy highways for monkeys and sloths—reconnecting their forest home.
We are committed to protecting the wildlife that has long called these forests home.
A dedicated group of individuals has come together to support monkeys, sloths, and other arboreal species by building wildlife rope bridges across fragmented habitats. As communities continue to grow and develop, it is our responsibility to thoughtfully consider and reduce the impact on local wildlife.
That is why we work to reconnect forest canopies—creating safe, elevated pathways that allow animals to move freely through their natural environment.

Why We Exist
Our Mission
We intend to help wildlife move safely through fragmented forests by building rope bridges, monitoring their use, and involving the local community in their care.

Join us! Let's build more bridges
Building a wildlife rope bridge takes a small but mighty team. We need tree climbers who go up into the canopy to rig and connect the ropes — and equally important ground crew who coordinate, manage the ropes from below, and keep everything running safely. No experience? No problem. If you can tie a knot and love wildlife, we want to hear from you.
Tree Climbers
You’ll connect canopies – building bridges high up in the trees. Climbing experience
preferred but we can train the right person.
Ground Crew
You’ll manage the ropes from below, communicate with the climbers, handle passing locals and wildlife, and keep the whole operation running smoothly.

No experience necessary, just enthusiasm.
They Need Your Help!
A wildlife rope bridge costs a few hundred dollars and takes a day to build. For the monkeys and sloths of Bocas del Toro, it reopens a highway through the canopy that humans took away. One donation. One bridge. One reconnected forest.
