	The Hindu : Opinion / Editorials : HEY PRESTO, A NEW MACAQUE
		The discovery of a primate species, Macaca munzala (the Arunachal macaque), in the forests of western Arunachal Pradesh by a dedicated team of Indian researchers is one such exalting moment for the world of science.
		Macaques, which are among the largest genera of Old World monkeys, display, in the words of an expert, "a remarkable ecological versatility and evolutionary success." Only Homo sapiens, the human race, has a more extensive geographical distribution.
		The Arunachal macaque is a symbol of hope, a rallying point for wildlife scientists and enthusiasts.

	Birding Hotspots of W. Arunachal Pradesh
		The Arunachal Macaque, Macaca munzala, was dicovered by science, in the form of a team of biologists from the Nature Conservation Foundation, only in 2003 during an expedition to the high altitude regions of W. Arunachal Pradesh.
		The previous "new" macaque has been known to science for more than a hundred years and the last new primate description was of the Golden Langur in 1956 from Assam, not more than 150 km from the site of the latest discovery.
		Though the new macaque has a suite of characters which are quite distinctive animals which seem to be hybrids between the two species may be seen around Jang in Tawang.

		The significance of the find can be estimated from the fact that a macaque species new to the world was last detected in 1903, while the last primate species detected in India dates back to over 50 years ago.
		It is also absurd to suggest that the preservation of species such as the Arunachal macaque should rely on the ability to “sustain life, provide livelihoods’’ or ensure “general well-being’’.
