The project deals with a social approach to gather information on perception of tourists and residents/locals on long-tailed macaques in human-modified landscapes in Leyte and Mindanao which serves as tourist areas. Specifically, assess the knowledge and attitude of humans to the presence of macaques as they can share the same resources like space and food. In addition, this interaction of humans and macaques may be new which may lead to changes in behavior and perception of locals and tourists on wildlife. In order to gather enough data and representation of the target group, this project will be done for two years using scientifically accepted survey method and data analysis. The program will be led by zoologists and environmental scientists. The data generated can then be used for sustainable tourism which can in turn mitigate human-macaque conflicts and zoonosis. Aside from knowledge generation through publications, presentations and IEC materials, awareness campaign in local communities to increase positive perception and attitude towards wildlife in the area will be conducted in coordination with the Local Government unit and agencies that manages the tourist spots. Data in this project are also essential to generate the the Vulnerability Index (CZVI) of the program.
