The population of monkeys is increasing rapidly in zege church forest which causes the production of fruits and vegetables fruitless for the community living in the area. The community entirely dependent on forest despite the potential of the area for the production of vegetables, fruits, and other economical spices. You all researcher well come for the solution of this problem caused by a monkey to save the forest from destruction.
This is a challenge in India as well in the Himalayan states, where monkeys are destroying crops, fruit and vegetable plantation and even can be seen prominently moving around households. Looking forward to responses.
They are the part of this ecosystem. Monkeys are mostly a pest near by to the human residence where they get food from the left over or from the garbage. Very few goes to field to eat the fruits. Only the forest department can help to relocate them.
Dear Mengistu Mitku Alemu
Really a very interesting question it is....What we can do is-
I) Monkey scarer guns are available in the market..We can utilize it to frighten them.
II) As per my experiences in working in hilly regions of India (Himachal Pradesh) for my M.Sc. programme, I came to know that monkeys some how do not like Lady's Finger (Abelmoschus esculentus). In that regions, a border crop of that crop is grown around other vegetable, spice or other agronomic crops. I don't know what is the reason behind it...But I can tell it from my experience of working there for two years.
III) Sterilization of monkeys- The forest department can think of reducing the population of monkey through proper planning. It can be done through castration..
