Nparks Monitoring Jalan Besar ‘mission: Impossible’ Monkeys, Herding Them To Forested Areas

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE? 🕵🪜

Seen the viral video of macaques 🐒 scaling a Housing Board block in Jalan Besar 🏬? With plans to have a park 🌳 10 minutes away from each household by 2030, we are bringing nature closer to us, which would mean wildlife encounters 🐾 will be inevitable. As more park connector networks are built across the country, there will be more green spaces 🌿 which allow wildlife to move around to find food, a mate or a new troop. If the monkeys’ habitat is disturbed due to development, they will also be forced to move to another green pocket, and cross built-up areas in the process.
