Meet The MonkeysEpisode of September 6, 2014

This documentary follows Wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford Johnson, as he returns to the Indonesian paradise island of Sulawesi to film the now very rare crested black macaque, 25 years after he first filmed them. The crested black macaque is a completely unique monkey, and only exists on Sulawesi, Indonesia. These intelligent, curious creatures with Mohican hair-dos and intense orange eyes have huge personalities, but they’re in deep trouble. Many of the local people love eating wild meat, and macaque is considered a particular delicacy. Illegal hunting has meant that the monkey population has crashed by almost 90 percent since Colin was last on the island. In this documentary, Colin finds out what he can do to help and documents his journey. (From the UK) (Documentary) G CC
