Un macaco sulawesi con cresta nera (Macaca nigra) che mangia frutta di cocco mentre è seduto sul pavimento della foresta in un habitat naturale: La foresta di Tangkoko nel Nord Sulawesi, Indonesia. Piantare alberi da frutto nell'area tra la foresta e il paesaggio agricolo contribuirebbe a ridurre i conflitti tra scimmie e umani, secondo Reyni Palohoen, coordinatore del progetto di Selamatkan Yaki (Save Yaki) nell'aprile 2021, rispondendo alla 'invasione di scimmie' delle terre agricole nella reggenza di Minahasa del Sud, Sulawesi del Nord, Indonesia.

Mitigating conflicts between human and Celebes crested monkeys_ North Sulawesi, Indonesia. April 28, 2021. Planting fruit trees in the area between agricultural landscape and forest might help reducing human-monkey conflicts, according to Reyni Palohoen, project coordinator of Selamatkan Yaki (Save Yaki), a local NGO._ As published by local media Tribun Manado on April 9, hundreds of Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra)—locally known as yaki or wolai (pictured)—attacked agricultural crops in East Amurang, South Minahasa regency, North Sulawesi province, Indonesia._ Robby Vania, a farmer living in Lopana village in the regency, has seen coconuts on his agricultural field destroyed, eaten by the endemic species. The loss was huge, since coconut is a major commodity in South Minahasa. "There are hundreds of them, " Vania said. He asked if the government could help dealing with "increasing population" of the protected monkey species._ According to Palohoen, the incident is not merely caused by the increasing population of yaki. "There are many causes, " he told Tribun Manado. "But the degradation of monkey habitat and the expanded human activities is the main cause."_ In Bitung area, near the forest of Dua Saudara where these monkeys have a sanctuary, villagers who own dogs on agricultural land have seen less of monkey trespassing into their crops._ Another trick is to plant a lot of fruit trees that are considered less economic. "They will not attack agricultural land once they are satisfied with fruits, " Palohoen said._ Yaki spends between 59-70 percent of their times foraging for foods, in which more than 50 percent composes of fruits. A research published in 1997 by Timothy O Brien and Margaret F Kinnaird which accessed through Researchgate, revealed that this protected species consumes over 145 species of fruits.
