The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, in collaboration with the Wild Animal Rescue Foundation, has made significant progress in tackling the issue of monkey overpopulation in urban areas.

 

The first phase of this initiative involves the construction of a 7,000 square metre enclosure for monkeys in the Huai Sai Wildlife Breeding Station, located in Phetchaburi province.

 

This marks a notable advancement in the Phetchaburi Model project initiated by Dr Yutthaphon Angkinan, former advisor to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

 

Dr Yutthaphon revealed that the project was instigated to manage and maintain the health of the wildlife and resolve the issue of monkeys disturbing the public.

Actually not tackling the over population of monkeys....just giving them a home behind wire. Of course, the compound will be a huge cost (probably riddles with corruption) and then these bloody pests need to be fed.

They started neutering these things some years back...especially in Lopburi...I think Hua Hin also ...that of course, all became too hard, no funds etc, after a short time and stopped.
