Animal issues in Sri Lankan Agriculture - ‍රිලවෙක්ට ඩොලර් 50000

In Sri Lanka, monkeys pose significant challenges to agriculture, particularly in rural farming communities. Species like Toque Macaques and Purple-faced Langurs frequently raid crops such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, leading to considerable financial losses for farmers. Their increasing presence is driven by habitat destruction, deforestation, and human encroachment into forested areas, which force monkeys to seek food in farmlands. Despite attempts to mitigate the issue through scare tactics, barriers, and traditional methods, solutions remain largely ineffective, creating a growing conflict between farmers and wildlife. Addressing this problem requires sustainable and humane strategies that balance conservation efforts with the protection of agricultural livelihoods.
