💨 Abstract

The Maharashtra government is considering setting up sterilization centers for monkeys and langurs in the Konkan region to control their population and prevent crop damage. Forest Minister Ganesh Naik stated that the current approach of providing compensation to farmers is not a long-term solution and sustainable measures are needed to prevent future damages. The government also plans to grant farmers permission to use guns within legal limits to protect their crops from wild boars.
