entry description
Seeing these Crested black macaques in the wild was a truly humbling experience, especially since humans are responsible for the biggest challenges they are facing. Black crested macaques are critically endangered due to illegal logging, a cruel pet trade and the demand for bush meat. It’s hard to imagine how these majestic animals may become extinct in the near future. By taking this picture I wanted to capture what would be lost if we don’t protect them.back to gallery
