The Javan Langur monkey, found mostly in the mangrove, beach and freshwater swamp forests of Indonesia, is in danger of extinction. The main threat to its existence comes, unsurprisingly, from human activity. Expanding towns and farmland have compromised its natural habitat. They are also illegally traded as pets.
The Javan Langur monkey is considered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species to be vulnerable to extinction, their numbers in the wild having decreased by a stagering 30% in the past 30 years.
