The study focuses on conflicts between humans and rhesus macaques in the Lansdowne Forest Division of Uttarakhand, India, from 2015 to 2018. It found that male monkeys aged 16 to 35 were more often involved in bite incidents, and farmers reported that up to 70% of their agricultural land was affected by monkey foraging. The article suggests that habitat destruction and improper human waste disposal may worsen these conflicts.
