The death toll of monkeys in Pakistan’s national parks has risen sharply, with human feeding being identified as a significant cause. Experts suggest that monkeys, who would normally gather food naturally in the wild, are being diverted from this behavior due to human interaction.
This habit has become dangerous for the monkeys, as it leads to conflicts with park visitors, sometimes resulting in fatalities. Moreover, depending on humans for food is causing digestive issues in the monkeys, which is affecting their overall health.
Experts have urged the public to refrain from feeding animals in national parks to help protect their lives and reduce interference with their natural habitat.
