Lion tailed macaque project poster The document discusses the endangered status of lion-tailed macaques in the Western Ghats of India, highlighting a significant lack of recent data on their population in the Nilambur forests. The study aimed to assess the current population, identify threats, and engage local communities in conservation efforts. Through surveys and interviews, researchers found that local awareness of the macaques has improved, with many community members recalling past hunting practices that have ceased. The study identified ten distinct troops of macaques and emphasized the need for ongoing conservation education and community involvement to ensure the species' survival, addressing threats such as habitat loss and road safety issues.
Poster presented at ICCB 2023 conference. The poster is made as an output for Lion tailed macaque (LTM) project in Nilambur.
