00:00This monkey is getting a burial usually reserved for people. Here, endangered
00:04monkeys are protected by centuries-old beliefs. It's forbidden to hunt or harm
00:08the animals, but living alongside them is hard. The animals raid kitchens, steal
00:12food, and damage crops. As the villages grow, so does human-wildlife conflict.
00:18Some farmers say the sanctuary limits where they can expand their farms, yet
00:22these same endangered monkeys are attracting tourists. Their money supports
00:25local livelihoods and education. It's not a perfect solution, but it gives
00:29villages a reason to protect the rare wildlife. Coexistence and conservation
00:34work best when communities benefit too.
