Rediscovering the third largest population of the critically endangered Delacour's Langur

Three Monkeys Wildlife Conservancy is thrilled to share an exciting development from our recent conservation efforts in the forested limestone complex of Tam Diep and Yen Mo District Forest in Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam. Our team, utilizing cutting-edge drone technology, has uncovered the world third-largest population of the critically endangered Delacour’s Langur (Trachypithecus delacouri)!

A Significant Find:

Our exploration revealed a subpopulation of Delacour’s Langur, with groups 5 to 14 individuals. We also estimated there were between 32 – 37 individuals total. This discovery is crucial, as it represents the third-largest known population of this rare primate, following those in Van Long-Dong Tam Forest and Kim Bang Forest

Cooperation for Making a Difference

This discovery is a beacon of hope for the future of Delacour’s Langur. By leveraging technology and community involvement, we can ensure the protection and recovery of this critically endangered species. Stay tuned for more updates and learn how you can support our conservation initiatives.

Together, let’s preserve our world’s natural heritage for future generations!
