Major Threats
There is extensive habitat loss within its range. Shifting cultivation by local communities is an increasing threat, as are oil palm and cacao plantations, as well as cotton cultivation, are displacing the natural habitat. Expanding human settlements are also a problem. There is extensive illegal ?small scale? open area gold mining, using mercury, within protected areas. All of these factors are combining to increase the rate of habitat loss. Animals are also poisoned for crop raiding.

The booted macaque (Macaca ochreata) is a macaque of the Sulawesi island, Indonesia. This Old World monkey is diurnal and spends most of the day in the trees.

It is 50–59 cm long plus a tail of 35–40 cm.

The booted macaque feeds on figs, buds, invertebrates and cereals.

Two subspecies of the Booted Macaque are recognized:[1]

Outside of their native Indonesia, the booted macaque is found only at the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo in Thurmont, Maryland. A family of booted macaques have been residents there since the 1960s, and are already into their fourth generation in captivity.
