In this July 5, 2019, photo, a monkey eats roti, or flat bread, distributed by Saraswati Dangol in the forest near Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. For the past four years, Dangol has been bringing the bread every day to feed the monkeys. “It used to be that the monkeys were able to feed on the fruits from the trees but now the forests are thin and hardly any fruits. They are going hungry and some of them even go to nearby houses to steal food”, she said, adding that the monkeys are injured by people whose homes they try to enter. As soon as they see her with her white sack, they gather around her, some patiently waiting for their turn while others less patiently snatching the bread from her hands.
