25 species of Vietnam’s primates are ‘on the edge of extinction’

11 species listed as Critically Endangered

1.

Poaching

Primate poaching is widespread and common in Vietnam. Poachers covet the monkeys for their bones, organs and tissues, which are used in traditional medicines. The essential reason for the immense volume of wildlife in the illegal trade and the dramatic decline of wild animal populations – not only primates – results from an ineffective, unmotivated and apathetic enforcement of existing laws.

2.

Habitat Destruction & Fragmentation

Deforestation of natural forests in Vietnam is proceeding at an alarming rate, and even though forested areas in general increase through reforestation it is predominantly as monoculture plantations. A large number of protected areas are very small or fragmented, and are therefore highly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts.

Did you know that the Delacour's Langur (Trachypithecus delacouri)- the symbol species of the EPRC is the an endemic species which found only in Vietnam and currently less than 300 individuals left.

At the moment, EPRC is the only place in the world that has successfully bred and released this species back into the wild.
In the picture is a troop of Delacour's Langurs living in our Hill-1 semi-wild area. This area is also where they can learn how to adapt and lives almost like in the wild.

It seems that white shorts are the fashion trend for 'summer holiday' at Hill-1 😆😆

The beauty of Grey Langur ladies
------------------
Indochinese Gray langur (𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘶𝘴), this endangered leaf-eating monkey has a very funny apperance, a white mustache and curious round-eyes, just like someone has painted their face.
At EPRC, these langurs are the most gentle and friendly ones. They spend a lot of time for grooming each others and they never tend to cause a scene. Everyone loves them so much.

Vẻ đẹp của những quý cô Voọc Xám
Vooc Xám Đông dương, loài 'Khỉ ăn lá' nguy cấp này có một vẻ ngoài rất ngộ nghĩnh, một bộ ria mép màu trắng và cặp mắt luôn tỏ ra vẻ tò mò, giống như ai đó đã tô vẽ lên mặt chúng vậy.
Tại EPRC, chúng là những cá thể hiền lành và thân thiện nhất, chúng dành nhiều thời gian chải lông cho nhau và không bao giờ xảy ra cãi vã. Tất cả mọi người đều rất yêu mến chúng.

It's been 4 years since Beo rescued, we still can't forget the image of the pitiful baby Langur who used to hold keeper's hands every day, mouth on the tiny milk bottle. But now, he is no longer a baby with sad eyes anymore. Beo has officially 'graduated' from our kindergarten.

In February 2017, while rangers patrolling, Beo was found in a small locals house on the edge of the jungle. At that moment, Beo was only a month old. People fed him with sugar milk. Although drinking sweetened milk will cause Langurs colic, but since he lost his mother, he must drink it if he doesn't want to starve.

After being rescued and travel 600km away, Beo was moved to live with other orphans in the EPRC's kindergaten. During the first year, we gave Beo non-sugar fresh milk mixed with oak-bark tea to help him build a healthier digestive system. At the same time, Beo has also gradually learned to eat leaves like other langurs.
2021, he is now start entering adulthood. Goodbye to Thanh, Khoa and the other babies at 'Kindergarten', Beo has been moved to a new enclosure with other Red-shanked doucs, then he will start building a new family.

Wish Beo always healthy and well integrated with your new friends.

𝗟𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗺, the mother gibbon who had been depressed for her whole life, she’ve layed on the cold ground for all day long. 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘆– the father gibbon who was locked up in a small cage for years at the middle of crowded city, day by day, he strained and stressed out by the trafic noises and thousands sound of human city.

One by one, they were rescued. Once again they were immersed in nature, plants...and then, they found each other. Their love bear fruit, they gradually began to build a small family, and this will probably be the family they live with for the rest of their lives.

Both have experienced seemingly insurmountable events. And perhaps the most regrettable thing is that none of us can go back in time and bring them back to where they were born and belongs, where they could fly for miles through the endless jungles..
But there are little things we still can do: giving them a beautiful living place, wherether surrounds by green color of trees, there are birds singing there are cicadas crying. Let’s give them fruits and vegetables which they need. Let them wake up with peaceful mind and let them sing the beautiful songs of the apes together every morning. And…perhaps, the most important of all: they will never have to be separated again.

Join us to help them, from the most simple things.

The EPRC houses four different gibbon species. But we breed only one species, the Northern White cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys). The Cuc Phuong Nationalpark is within the homerange of the critical endangered Northern White cheeked gibbons. Until 1980 there were even still wild gibbons in our National Park. So we aim in the future maybe even to release some of our Northern White cheeked gibbons back to the wild.

Some days ago we could welcome our latest gibbon baby. It is the second child of our couple Lucky and LoLem (Cinderella). The older brother is now 2 ½ years old what is the perfect distance for gibbons between having babies.

Some of you might remember the story from LoLem. When she arrived she was still black color and was looking very scruffy and skinny. Since she did not look pretty we named her Lolem (Cinderella). But more converning was, that she couldnt climb, she always only layed on the floor. Actually she had given up at that time. Thanks to keepers who gave her good care and a lot of enrichment she developed well and got better and better. Finally she was so good that we paired her with Lucky, a very active male. Both come along so well. When Lolem was to give birth for the first time we where not sure whether she would be able to care for her baby. We were prepared that we maybe would have to hand rear. But she did such a good job. That s why we are pretty relaxed now with her second baby.

Sleep well, my dear! 🥰 — The best thing to do

The best thing to do in these cold days is being curled up to sleep in mother's warm arms. Is not it, guys? Looks, how cute this little baby 🐒 is #primatearenotpets

THE YOUNG BABY SITTER

This is our baby Ha Tinh langur who was born 2 weeks ago.
Today, we saw the baby being held by his brother Su, and because Su is only 2 years old, he seemed clumsy.
At first, the little baby seems unfamiliar with Su and he kept crying. However the mother Langur just kept an eye on them but without showing any concern. Su carefully used his small arm to hug his little brother. After a while, the young baby got used to the warmth and fell asleep in his brother's arms.
We would like to send these lovely pics to all of our friends who are following us, especially those with a childhood that used to help their mom looking after their young brother/sister 😀
