In Kakoijana, Assam, villagers and endangered golden langurs have lived side by side for generations. But, in 2019, a highway cut through the village, severing the connected canopies that formed pathways the langurs routinely used to travel. Several, forced to descend on the road, were killed by speeding traffic. Now a simple fix, led by local conservationist Sanjeev Kumar, is reconnecting those paths.
