Project History

The Animal Neighbours Project (ANP) is a community-based initiative that addresses human-wildlife conflict in urban spaces through research, education, and advocacy. Founded in Malaysia in 2014 due to human macaque conflict, the project was inspired by Dr. Sharmini Julita Paramasivam, a veterinarian from Malaysia.  Alarmed by public outcry and the lack of sustainable solutions, she recognised the need for a more informed and compassionate approach to human-wildlife coexistence.

ANP is a registered NGO (Registration No. PPM-087-10-26082024) and works in collaboration with the University of Surrey.
