Lopburi, a Thai town overrun by around 2,500 wild monkeys, has launched a plan to capture and relocate the animals using cages baited with tropical fruit. Recent monkey-human conflicts prompted this move. Authorities aim to trap the monkeys, perform health checks, sterilize them, and transfer them to holding pens. While the monkeys have been a tourist attraction, their increasing aggression has harmed local businesses and residents. The town hopes this effort will restore order and improve the local economy.
