Contraceptive Programme

In order to control the population growth of wild monkeys, a large scale contraceptive programme has been launched by AFCD since 2007. The monkeys are caught by using a giant trapping cage, and are then sent to receive different contraceptive treatments, including endoscopic tubectomy for females. According to the population survey in recent years, the total population and overall birth rate of local wild monkeys have experienced a downward trend.
