KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife officials hope that people can find ways to live in harmony with monkeys, in view of the increasing presence of these animals especially in the city.

Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said although its job of catching monkeys or chasing them away from homes and farms dates back decades, there is an increase in reports of human encounters with the animals.
