Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Release! An Electrocuted Macaque

Last week, we received a distress call about a long-tailed macaque in urgent need of help.

This poor monkey had been electrocuted and chased by dogs. After a thorough examination, we found minor injuries near his eyebrow and on his right leg.

Thankfully, X-rays and blood tests showed no major issues. With the right medication and close monitoring, he made a swift recovery, and we’re thrilled to share that he has already been released back to the wild!

Watch his story in the video below.

Long-tailed macaques are endangered and face constant threats due to human-wildlife conflict, making this rescue and release even more special.

Our work to save and protect wildlife in Thailand is only possible because of supporters like you. Thank you for making rescues like this one a reality!
