4Bali, Indonesia

In Bali, the long-tailed macaques have become infamous for their bold interactions with tourists, particularly around temples like Uluwatu and the Sacred Monkey Forest.
The monkeys have learned to steal items from visitors in exchange for food, creating problematic dependencies. Additionally, as urban areas expand, macaques increasingly raid homes and crops, leading to tensions with local residents. Managing these interactions requires a balance between tourism, animal welfare, and public safety.
