via Bangkok Post, 07 February 2024: Lop Buri, a city known for its historical sites and large macaque population, is implementing new measures to control urban monkeys, including training, moving, and sterilizing them.
The department, Lop Buri municipality and the provincial livestock development office signed a memorandum of understanding on macaque control at historical Phra Prang Sam Yot temple in Muang district on Wednesday.
The 13th-century temple is home to an overly abundant macaque population that raids local communities and pesters visitors.
