Authorities in Lopburi, Thailand, have launched efforts to address the growing problem of monkey overpopulation. The increase in monkeys, particularly in urban areas, has led to disruptions in daily life, with monkeys entering homes and businesses in search of food.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand has announced plans to compensate those affected by monkey attacks and gradually reduce the monkey population in the city center. Operations are underway to collect and relocate monkeys to forested areas, with the aim of mitigating the impact on residents.
