These Intense Photos of Lion-Tailed Macaques Will Turn You Into
aConservationist
Summary (150 to 300 words)
The article starts talking about how difficult were to find a
macaque in the past. Lion-Tailed macaques are so shy, small and
quiet, as scientist describes them. They live in
Western Ghats in India where theyre considered as the only
arboreal macaque onearth. Macaque population is hard to describe
but we can say that therere only 3500specimens. Many reasons
explain their population decreasing and some of them
aredeforestation, road-building and other human encroachments, as
the author says.
Likely, there are some macaques in Kerala, in southwestern
India. Its one of therelatively intact macaques habitats. In his
visit, the author and his guide saw a groupof animals who are
eating jackfruit. At the same time, a small monkey showed
itsbalance into a big tree and the fruit. Its amazing how the
macaque can eat a strongfruit. Furthermore, the author talked with
a pair of photographers who mentioned thedaily routine that they
had to do for following the macaques. It was a consecutivefeeding
and rest.
Macaques live in small groups, about 15 members. When a male
specimen grows up,it should leave the group. In this transition to
look for a new group, they in dangerous.Young male macaques have
been run over or eaten by tourists! Because the rere notmales
specimens in the groups, researches are looking for ways to prevent
inbreedingbecause it causes health problems in monkeys.
Finally, many conservationist groups are working to find a
solution of that problem andsupport remaining macaques. One of
those solutions is to create boundaries aroundforests and restore
habitats.

Personal Opinion (Min. 50 words for 150-word summaries | Min.
100 words for300-word summaries)
In my opinion, I believe everyone should take notice about our
environment situation.This topic includes animals, plants, natural
sources and their probable extinction.Since recycling at home and
taking care of our pets, is important to do something forpreserve
our world. This article is an example of animal extinction.
Lion-tailedmacaque is a type of monkey who lived peacefully in rain
forests. However,deforestation and non-controlled tourism are
destroying its habitat and killing themacaque population.
Government and citizens should create rules for respectmacaques
environment and try to preserve the specie because if the
monkeysdisappear, it could affect the food chain. But we have to
consider the trees as well. Ifgovernment had been stricter about
the penalties about illegal deforestation, wildlifewouldnt have
been in critical dangerous.
