Monkey Business The Impact of Angkor Wat Visitors on Aggressive Macaques

As one of Cambodia's most iconic attractions, Angkor Wat welcomes over a million foreign tourists each year. However, this influx of visitors has given rise to a pressing concern aggressive macaques. These wild monkeys, native to the surrounding forests, have begun to alter their behavior due to human interaction – particularly from YouTubers. The consequences are alarming biting tourists, damaging centuries-old stonework, and destroying information boards.

The Apsara National Authority, which manages the UNESCO-listed site, has issued a warning to visitors, advising them to steer clear of these aggressive macaques. Unfortunately, a small group of YouTubers has been perpetuating the problem by feeding the monkeys, thereby altering their natural behavior from wild animals to domestic ones that are aggressive, opportunistic, and prone to causing injuries.

The impact of this issue is far-reaching. Not only do tourists risk being bitten or injured by the aggressive macaques, but also the ancient temple complex itself is suffering damage. According to Long Kosal, a spokesman for the Apsara National Authority, the monkeys are damaging the stonework by climbing up and pushing stones down, causing irreparable harm.

As Angkor Wat remains Cambodia's top tourist attraction, generating valuable revenue for the country, it is crucial that we address this issue. The Apsara National Authority has urged tourists to leave the monkeys alone while visiting the ruins, and is working on finding a suitable solution to the problem.

In related news, the Agriculture Ministry has announced plans to conduct a census of monkeys in public areas and identify those posing a danger to humans. With over a million visitors annually, it is essential that we strike a balance between preserving Angkor Wat's cultural significance and protecting its wildlife.

Key Takeaways

1. Aggressive macaques have been terrorizing tourists at Angkor Wat due to human interaction, particularly from YouTubers.
2. The Apsara National Authority warns visitors to avoid these aggressive animals, which are damaging the temple complex.
3. Long-term solutions are needed to address this issue and protect both tourists and the ancient stonework.
