According to the zoo, the platforms are suspended from the trees, and therefore do not impact the forest floor below. They are designed to 鈥渆nsure negligible impact" on the trees and allow them to continue to grow. While the platforms bring visitors much closer to the trees, guests are advised not to touch their delicate bark.
