"A macaque peers out from its transport box, trying to observe what happens outside during its journey to be reintroduced into the wild.
In some cities of Java, Indonesia, there is a practice known locally as Topeng Monyet. It involves the use of trained macaques in street performances. These macaques are often harshly trained and live a frightening, lonely life, deprived of the social bonds that primates deeply depend on. The practice is, in fact, illegal, and many macaques are now being confiscated and rehabilitated. When they arrive at the facilities run by the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, they receive the care and attention they need. After many months of rehabilitation, the macaques are ready to be reintroduced. Their long journey back to freedom takes many days and requires several different forms of transport."
