webfact Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Concerns raised again over Phuket wild monkey populations Concerns have been raised over the number of wild Phuket monkeys at one monkey-feeding site in Rassada. Photo: Nature and Wildlife Education Centre, Khao Phra Thaew PHUKET: Concerns about the rising number of infant monkeys at a popular monkey site in Rassada will be addressed following an inspection visit by Pongchart Chouehorm, Director of the Natural and Wildlife Education Centre at Khao Phra Thaew Non-Hunting Area in Thalang. Mr Pongchart inspected two sites in Rassada on Monday (Sept 18) that are popular for people to visit local monkeys: one at King Kaew Soi 9, the other at Soi Tha Jeen. The inspection was carried out to follow up on the installation of signs at the two sites that informed visitors of the dangers of inappropriate interaction with the monkeys, and general information about the what monkeys should and should not be fed, and signs indicating exactly where monkeys are to be fed.

bluesofa Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (from the linked article:) “We will evaluation the effectiveness of monkey population controls in the next three months,” Mr Pngcharts said. The evaluation to come follows a mass-sterilisation program carried out last year to curtail the rising populations of wild monkeys across Phuket aid fears of monkeys spreading diseases and encroaching into residential areas. Does that mean last year's programme failed to reduce the amount of monkey nuts effectively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungstib Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 They are not really wild monkeys are they? They live in close proximity and with some food aid from people, their habits being changed from their truly wild ancestors. This changes their breeding habits and their nature. In all my travels through Asia, from Pakistan through to Eastern Indonesia I have never seen these interactions work out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
