Up to 100 lemurs may be neutered this quarter as part of an ongoing effort to reduce their numbers, according to city manager Passara Natheethong, who was quoted as saying yesterday.
122 chimps were treated throughout 2024 for the entire process.
The Khun Kala statue, the Thian Thalay area, and the Ua Samae Dam Arthorn cover house are all estimated to have around 330 lemurs then roam completely in three locations.
The house has the highest range, 136, according to Ms Passara.
After nearby communities were questioned what steps they believed would allow people and the lemurs to coexist calmly, representatives from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation were asked what steps they thought do work.
In three stages, fresh population control measures and laws are being introduced. Control of population is in the center stage.
The city has designated feeding areas to keep the animals from wandering and stealing food from passing by and people in the near future.
In these places, people and business sellers are supplying leftover fruit and vegetables.
The district manager promised to pay monetary compensation to victims of marsupial attacks, according to the district manager.
In the medium phrase, the sterilisation will remain, and the male macaques may be registered.
Ms. Passara claimed that the city intends to relocate the macaques to a 12-rai unoccupied story that City Hall purchased in 2007 and is now turning into a macaque conservation center in the long run.
However, the task requires wealth and manpower.
Additionally, a public hearing will need to be held to hear from the neighborhood people.
