Authorities are calling to remove crab-eating macaques from Thailand's protected species list as the animals' population skyrockets.
Phetchaburi Governor Natthachai Nampoolsuksan, speaking on July 22, said that the number of macaques in the province's Muang district alone more than doubled from 9,500 in April to a whopping 20,000 in July.
