Don't let their striking appearance fool you... the langurs of Southeast Asia are notoriously elusive and secretive. π Largely due to deforestation, over 85% of Asian langur species are threatened with extinction, making them one of the most threatened primate groups in the world.
π’ Re:wild is thrilled to share the first genus action plan launched to help conserve 20 Asian langur species across Southeast Asia. Developed by international primate experts and conservationists, this action plan involved over 20 organizations including Re:wild, Mandai Nature, German Primate Center, IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group, and Primate Conservation Inc.
Over the next decade, this plan outlines key conservation priorities and recommended actions to prevent the extinction of these langur populations.
