Macaques in Guiyang’s Qianling Mountain hurt people 5,811 times a year. How should they be managed?

Have you been to Guiyang Qianling Mountain? Have you ever been bitten by a macaque in Qianling Mountain? According to statistics, macaques in Qianling Mountain, Guiyang hurt people 5,811 times a year, and the average number of injuries per day was as high as 16 times. And both tourists and park managers seem to have seen this happen frequently.

It is understood that these macaques on Qianling Mountain have always been left free in the wild, which not only threatens the safety of tourists' lives and property, but their current reproduction number far exceeds the environmental load, causing damage to the surrounding vegetation. Came a big impact.

Suggestions for the park:

1. Divert the monkey group. No matter how familiar the macaques are with tourists, we cannot allow the uncontrolled reproduction of macaques. The number of macaques in scenic areas should be properly controlled, which is beneficial to both tourists and the environment. Too many macaques attacking tourists, even if they are not aggressive themselves, can make tourists feel scared and lead to uncontrollable behavior.

2. Plan a reasonable space to allow tourists and macaques to interact. If necessary, you can install fences and other facilities to prevent macaques from injuring people due to grabbing food. Now tourists are walking and feeding all the way, and they are in the same space as the macaques, without any obstruction or protection measures. Once an accident occurs, it is 100% guaranteed.

3. Set up a specific feeding area and arrange dedicated personnel to manage it. Try to prevent tourists from feeding without restrictions. This is not only good for the macaques, but also protects the safety of tourists. Let the macaques eat what they want, and let the macaques eat happily and the tourists have a good time. This is the goal that should be achieved.

4. Set up warning signs, warning slogans, etc. to clearly inform tourists of reasonable actions, and remind tourists not to anger the macaques and cause accidents.

Although macaques are cute, there is another side to them that is aggressive. In the final analysis, macaques are still animals. They cannot understand human instructions and can only judge whether a person is a threat through their movements and expressions. So try to keep a reasonable distance from the macaques, and don't cause catastrophe due to playfulness.
