This is one rare
case where the destruction of habitat and replacement with agricultural land has led to an
increase in the number of primates, but at a serious social cost. These social problems will
only be exacerbated if habitat destruction does not stop and will likely force government
control measures, like trapping and relocation, to decrease the population for the health and
safety of humans in India. Therefore, it is recommended that some measures should be taken
to control the monkey population and their menace, otherwise people may consider rhesus as
vermin than as species for conservation importance, which may hamper the ongoing research
projects on other primates at large.
