Details

The scientific name of the Indonesian langur is Presbytis femoralis, and its English name is Sarawak Surili, Bornean Banded Langur. It is generally believed that there are no more than 20 Indonesian langurs living in the tropical rainforests of Singapore. Studies in recent years have found that the number of Indonesian langurs has increased to more than 40, doubling the expected number.

The increase in the number of leaf monkeys in Indonesia is a major step forward in species conservation in Singapore and also shows the effectiveness of its forest vegetation management. However, the survival status of leaf monkeys is still very serious. Half of the 16 plant species they eat are endangered. Their habitat in Malaysia is shrinking due to logging damage, which has also put the local population at risk of survival.
