Local authorities in Arghakhanchi, Nepal, have recruited 26 individuals to serve as "monkey watchers" to protect local maize crops. The workers have been hired to guard agricultural fields for a period of two months.
This initiative comes in response to an increase in monkey raids that have significantly impacted the region's farming output. By stationing watchers in the fields, the district aims to mitigate crop damage and support farmers who have struggled to defend their harvests from wildlife interference.
