They're definitely a group
that...

...don't really play

00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,160
looking for insects
around the camera...
366
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,400
Erm, it's magical.
367
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,320
STUART: This is such a pleasure
368
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,360
to be able to sort of walk
in amongst the monkeys.
369
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,600
Yeah, it really does feel like
370
00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:07,280
I've been accepted
into the group.
371
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,440
But summer brings
new challenges.
372
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,560
Searching for food and water,
373
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,280
Mac's troop are forced
to new areas by the drought.
374
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,200
(PANTS)
375
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,520
The heat intensifies,
376
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,680
and so does the crew's concern
for the troop.
377
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,480
This summer, there is no food,
there is no water,
378
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,200
and the temperature
is very hot.
379
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:46,880
For the past decade,
380
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,480
the weather
is definitely changing.
381
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,080
This is not how it used to be.
382
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,640
STUART: I can't imagine
it's too much fun
383
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:56,680
for the macaques -
384
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,280
hiking for miles and miles,
385
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,800
wearing a big fur coat.
386
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:01,720
Poor little things.
387
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,920
The monkeys are waking up
and just always on the move.
388
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,120
Pushed beyond
the edges of their territory,
389
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:17,400
they come face to face
with the human world.
390
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,800
We've never seen the group
actually go in this area -
391
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,480
it's the first time -
because it's too dangerous.
392
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:29,880
Some dangers are obvious.
393
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,400
But the real threat takes
the crew by surprise.
394
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,480
- (SCREECHES)
- Hey! Hey!
395
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,560
(SCREECHES)
396
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,120
A car just pulled up alongside
the trail there,
397
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:47,680
all the macaques were out,
398
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,440
and it looked like
he was about to feed them.
399
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:50,760
I started walking over to say,
400
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,480
"Look, hey,
don't feed the macaques."
401
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,640
Um, and he reached down
402
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,240
and got really close
to the monkey,
403
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:57,880
and I was like,
"Hey, hey, hey, don't..."
404
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,960
...like, "Don't do that,"
and he just didn't hear me,
405
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,200
and then jumped to grab
one of the monkeys
406
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:03,240
and take it in the car.
407
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,480
Luckily, the monkey got away,
408
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,200
but, erm, yeah,
just can't believe it.
409
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,600
A brazen kidnapping attempt.
410
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,640
If captured,
monkeys are then sold as pets
411
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,760
or forced to perform
in market squares.
412
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,920
This time,
the monkey escaped...
413
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:28,960
...but they aren't all
so lucky.
414
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,760
MOHAMED:
I was counting the babies,
415
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,120
and there was one missing.
416
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,520
There is a high probability
that it's poaching.
417
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:52,320
A lot of people want babies
this time of the year.
418
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,000
There is no chance for us
419
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,800
to see him again
with the group.
420
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,400
It's more hurtful
than anyone could think.
421
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,080
For the group, I mean, it's
a huge loss to lose a baby,
422
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,000
but for that mother as well...
423
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,760
...to have a baby taken...
424
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:19,480
MOHAMED:
I'm not actually surprised
425
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,400
because I know
it's happened before,
426
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,480
it happened today
427
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,960
and more poaching is going
to happen in the future.
428
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,840
In 2013,
half of the troop's babies
429
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,160
were taken by poachers.
430
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,800
The future of Barbary macaques
here in Morocco
431
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,160
is under massive threat.
432
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,920
These babies look really cute
when they're small,
433
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,880
but they don't make good pets,
they're not for us.
434
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,960
Mohamed is determined to help.
435
00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:58,480
He and a group of local scouts
436
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,240
have been patrolling
the forest,
437
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:01,960
walking with the troops.
438
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,680
This is just one
of several projects
439
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,280
that aim to protect
these endangered monkeys.
440
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,800
And it's starting to work.
441
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,160
MOHAMED: With the protection
from scouts,
442
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,360
we can see the babies
from two years ago,
443
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,600
still here and still alive.
444
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,600
In the time the crew
were filming,
445
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:33,520
Mac's troop gave birth
to a record number of babies.
446
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,680
And since
the conservation project began,
447
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:42,240
the local macaque population
has grown by over 30%.
448
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,800
There is hope. I mean,
the future could be bright.
449
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,280
We have that chance.
450
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,600
This may be a small victory,
451
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:55,480
but Barbary macaques
are still in trouble.
452
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,320
Stronger protection
from the threat of poaching,
453
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,000
climate change and habitat loss
is essential
454
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,680
if this remarkable species
is to stand a chance.
455
00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:14,120
They experience poaching,
456
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:16,800
they survive the harsh weather,
457
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,240
they survive the lack of food
and water, they survive it all.
458
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:24,360
So that's why they should
really be protected.
459
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,080
We need people not to look
at monkeys
460
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,880
as a source of income
461
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,880
but instead see them
462
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,360
as beautiful,
charming creatures
463
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,440
that have the right to live.
