Editing Macaque (section)

===Population control===
Management techniques have historically been controversial, and public disapproval can hinder control efforts. Previously, efforts to remove macaque individuals were met with public resistance.<ref name=":2" /> One management strategy that is currently being explored is that of [[Neutering|sterilization]]. Natural resource managers are being educated by scientific studies in the proposed strategy. Effectiveness of this strategy is estimated to succeed in keeping populations in check. For example, if 80% of females are sterilized every five years, or 50% every two years, it could effectively reduce the population.<ref name=":2" /> Other control strategies include planting specific trees to provide protection to native birds from macaque predation, live trapping, and the vaccine [[porcine zona pellucida]] (PZP), which causes infertility in females.<ref name="www.upane.it"/>
