Best Answer

The Golden Langur lives in a fairly small part of northern India, bounded by three rivers and the Black Mountains of Bhutan in the north. They are declining in numbers mainly because of humans moving into their territory.

The Delacour's langurs live exclusively in the north of Vietnam and are extremely endangered because their bones and organs are used in the Chinese traditional medicine. So they are hunted by poachers. As well, their habitats are also getting smaller because of humans moving in. There are ten other kinds of langurs in Vietnam and they are all endangered.

What are the population trends for the douc langur?

The population for Douc Langurs is declining. In the last 30 years the population has declined by 50 - 80% and it is estimates it is going to continue to decline for the next 30 - 36 years. There are 500 - 700 individuals left of grey shanked douc langurs and some people think that douc langurs are on the brink of extinction whilst some other people think that douc langurs can be saved from extinction. Scientists also beleive that they may have found some new colonies of douc langurs in a area which they have not surveyed yet. douc langurs are in the 25 most endangered species. Whilst grey douc langurs are critically endangered red and black shanked douc langurs are just endangered although I think that they are on there way up the endangerment chart. Generally the population trend of the douc langurs is declining like most of the species on this planet... SAVE THE PRIMATES!! http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/39827/0 to find out more about the Grey Shanked Douc Langurs I would recomend this IUCN Red List you can also find more information online. written by 11 year olds :P
