Monkey parks are popular visitor attractions that display free-ranging troops of Japanese macaques to the paying public. The parks work by manipulating the movements of the monkey troop through the regular provision of food handouts at a fixed site where the monkeys can be easily viewed. This system of management leads to a variety of problems, including proliferating monkey numbers, park-edge crop-raiding, and the sedentarization of the troop. In addition to falling visitor numbers, these problems have led to the closure or fencing in of many parks, calling into question the future of the monkey park as an institution.Human-animal studies ;10.Japanese macaqueWildlife viewing sitesJapanEcotourismJapanElectronic books.Japanese macaque.Wildlife viewing sitesEcotourism599.8/644Knight John1960-985301MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456977503321Herding monkeys to paradise2252029UNINA
