After three weeks of dedicated care at the WFFT wildlife hospital, Wang, a wild long-tailed macaque from a local temple, successfully recuperated and was released back to his habitat.
Macaque around power lines treated and relocated
Long tailed Macaques are common around Petchaburi City and often during the first half of the year the males are on the look out for new groups to join.

We rescue, treat and relocate often macaques in trouble, and the pictures hereunder show just one example of such an operation.
