Bangkok – An academic seminar is being held to find ways to prevent wild monkeys from harassing people in many provinces.
Wallop Tangkunarak, in his capacity as chairman of a committee on wildlife protection, opened the seminar on the matter and described a master plan to deal with the animals.
According to Wallop, the plan aims at relocating wild monkeys to a more secure location away from communities and lowering interaction between them and humans.
Signs will be put up in Krabi, Trang, Phuket and Amnat Charoen provinces where wild monkeys can be seen all year around to tell people not to feed them or enter their natural habitats.
As for Bangkok, Chonburi, Prachuab Khiri Khan and Satun provinces, where the animals live close to communities, they will be neutered and located to a new place in an effort to keep their population under control.
Special areas for monkeys will be constructed to deal with the same problem in Petchaburi and Mukdahan provinces where human residential areas have been built in their natural habitats. The animals are expected to be relocated to their new homes.
