Evidence-Based Approach
ANP uses an evidence-based approach to create practical, effective, and sustainable solutions for human–wildlife coexistence.
Understanding the Landscape
ANP gathers baseline information on macaque troop numbers, hotspots, and community perspectives through surveys, camera traps, and field observations. This data-driven approach enables the analysis of patterns and the development of informed, long-term solutions for human–macaque coexistence.
Field-based behavioural studies are conducted to understand interactions between humans and wildlife. By observing both animal behaviour and human responses, valuable insights are gained into the causes of conflict and how to design effective, sustainable solutions.
ANP Monkey-Proof Bin Latch
Monkeys often access food from bins and from community workshops found this to be the most common reason to complaint about macaques. ANP developed a novel monkey proof bin latch thorough research and recommend using this to create animal behaviour change humanely. From our research findings, monkeys did not frequent areas that has bin latches on. This work was in collaboration with the University of Surrey with funding from Trentham Monkey Forest and Research England’s GCRF. These latches are now commercially available via ANP.
Human–Animal Interaction Research
Health and disease
In 2015, following a successful funding from the Malaysian Medical Council, ANP teamed up with Perdana University RCSI and started the first research collaboration in Kuala Selangor.
The research aimed to understand the factors causing human macaque conflict in urban areas including the health perspective and disease prevention.
