Purpose: The threats to primates in the modern-day world are many, including habitat loss, anthropogenic climate change, encroachment from human populations, increased pressure from diseases, and human-wildlife conflict. Your report should discuss the conservation status of your primate species according to IUCN (the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species), direct conservation threats, any conservation action plans that are being implemented to protect them, and your views on whether the plan is working and some of your own proposals about what the best methods would be for protecting them based on your knowledge about their biology, behavior, and ecological needs. Your report should also discuss any interactions your primate species has with humans. Your finished report should contain information similar to the following: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/12552/3355997
Includes at least five scholarly references, including scholarly books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and academic conference proceedings.Do not use Wikipedia, non-scholarly Internet sources, or popular science books or magazines as sources. Use APA citation.
(do not rely on http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/ as a source for your report. All sources used for your report must from be from peer-reviewed scientific journals. Websites such as http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/ are not peer-reviewed and therefore should not be used as a reference or cited. )

Due to the questionable efficacy of the conservation measures taken, more strategic interventions could be implemented to protect the macaques from culling. One intervention that could be implemented is the creation of sleeping sites with a consideration of environmental factors and climatic conditions. For example, Tsuji (2011) explains that during the spring season, macaques prefer the Zoysia japonica grassland. Hence, the creation of a sleeping site in such areas and ensuring that ample food is provided to the animals would help in lower food supply problems. Such an issue is contributed by an element like strong winds. Another intervention that could be implemented is the use of camera trapping, which could assist in tracking the primates when active and inactive. With close observation of the animals, Hanya et al., (2018) explain that these could aid the conservationists in detecting when the primates are in danger. The benefit of the camera trapping method is that the tools used utilize memory cards, thus helping the trackers to recognize people that hunt the macaques.
