A rope linking two patches of forest across a water body at Mandai Road is seen here. The rope bridge is part of a trial by NParks which is looking into ways of improving connectivity for animals to travel safely through fragmented landscapes.

On your next visit to Upper Seletar Reservoir in the Mandai area, look out for a thin rope stretching across the water.
You may catch a glimpse of a squirrel, or, if you are lucky, the rare Raffles' banded langur - a critically endangered monkey - using it as a bridge over the reservoir.
