Macaques and people: A focus on rhesus macaques in northern India

In the first installment of "All About Macaques", our AfA Macaque Coalition Lead Coordinator talks to Uddalak Tathagato Bindhani, who is currently working towards his PhD at the Wildlife Institute of India. Uddalak studies the ecology and behavior of rhesus macaques in human-dominated landscapes and gives us a great insight into what he’s observed and learned. Both where he works and across many of the regions where certain species of macaques live, the way people interact with them can sometimes be problematic, causing an array of issues for both humans and monkeys. Uddalak’s studies can shed light on some of the causes of and potential solutions to such interactions.
