Project Overview
Protecting the endangered Golden Langur through habitat restoration, community-based monitoring, and eco-tourism development around conservation corridors.
The Golden Langur (Trachypithecus geei) is endemic to the forests along the India-Bhutan border with fewer than 7,000 individuals remaining.
