As urban areas expand and forests shrink, humans and macaques are increasingly crossing paths - but not always peacefully. What can we do to reduce negative interactions, and promote harmony with our wild neighbours? Dr Nadine Ruppert (Vice-President of the Malaysian Primatological Society, and an associate professor at the School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia), Dr Sharmini Julita Paramasivam (veterinarian, Associate Professor at the University Of Surrey, and the Founder & Project Lead of The Animal Neighbours Project) and Dr Jo Leen Yap (wildlife researcher and Environmental Educator at Langur Project Penang) are all leading important work on the ground to foster co-existence, shift public perception, and protect both people and primates. They join us to share solutions and how we can co-exist with macaques, and why instead of fearing or fighting them, we must learn to live alongside them peacefully.
