Abstract

The Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is a highly adaptable primate with a wide distribution across Indonesia. Its presence near human settlements frequently causes conflict, particularly in areas bordering forest zones. In Tonjong Village, Tonjong District, Brebes Regency, Central Java, disturbances caused by long-tailed macaques to residential areas and community plantations have been ongoing since 2018. This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the long-tailed macaque, identify the impacts on people's livelihoods, and examine the mitigation efforts that have been undertaken. The research was conducted from January to February 2026 using a descriptive quantitative design. Data were collected through interviews and field observations involving 30 respondents selected by purposive sampling. The results show that the majority of respondents (56.6%) expressed concern over the presence of long-tailed macaques, and 76.6% considered them a disturbance. The macaques caused damage to various agricultural and plantation crops, including bananas, jackfruit, papaya, and cassava, directly reducing harvest yields and causing economic losses for the community. Disturbances occurred primarily in the morning and afternoon, with intensity increasing during the harvest season. Mitigation efforts carried out by the community remain short-term and conventional in nature such as direct deterrence, wrapping fruits with sacks, and installing physical barriers and have not proven effective on a sustained basis. This study concludes that more comprehensive, community-based mitigation strategies are needed to reduce human–macaque conflict in the long term.
