Rare ‘white’ macaque draws protection drive in Sultan Kudarat

A rare white macaque in Sultan Kudarat has become a focus of conservation efforts after gaining attention on social media. Initially thought to have albinism, the animal was later assessed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region XII, which suggested it might have leucism. To protect the macaque from potential threats like poaching and disturbance, the local government has restricted access to its habitat and is considering an ordinance for its protection. Authorities emphasize the importance of preserving the area's biodiversity and warn against revealing the macaque's exact location.
