Preventing the Spread of Crab-Eating Macaques in the Republic of Palau

Control the introduction of the invasive crab-eating macaques (Macaca fascicularis) moving to the upland forests of Babeldaob Island, identified as a priority site in the CEPF investment strategy. A nationwide macaque census will be conducted to determine the number and location of this species for appropriate planned mechanisms to put in place. Activities also include public awareness programs about the negative environmental and health impacts of the macaques.
