Wild monkey populations are difficult to manage
The scenic spot looks forward to netizens providing "golden ideas"
It is understood that there are 890 kinds of wild animals in the Wawu Mountain Scenic Area, among which the wild monkey is the Tibetan chief monkey, which belongs to the national second-class key protected wild animals, mainly in the area of Gufoping and the Grand Canyon, and is not raised in the scenic spot. As for the management of the monkey group, the scenic spot said that it was also a headache.
"Like many scenic spots with monkey populations, our scenic area also has problems that are difficult to manage in the wild. They are also protected animals, and even if they want to be driven away, they must be reported to the relevant departments for approval before relevant measures can be carried out. The person in charge of the scenic spot said that the scenic spot respects the living habits and activities of all wild animals, and currently mainly reduces the occurrence of accidents by strengthening patrols, signs and warnings, broadcasting safety tips and other measures, and also hopes that tourists and friends will take care of wild animals, watch monkeys in a civilized manner, appreciate monkeys scientifically, and keep a safe distance from monkeys.
The person in charge said: "We also hope that the majority of netizens, tourists and friends can contribute to the scenic spot to manage the monkey group of 'golden ideas', to avoid the recurrence of such problems, for those good golden ideas, the scenic spot will give corresponding rewards according to the situation."
Netizens also expressed different opinions on this matter
