Controversial plan to eradicate exotic monkey species approved, just before the arrival of Orange to Sint Maarten

On Sint Maarten, the government has approved a controversial plan to eradicate the entire population of vervets, a species of monkey. The non-native monkey species would cause great nuisance. Opponents of the plan say there are better options. At the end of January, the Oranjes will visit the Caribbean islands. The theme of nature is also on the agenda.
