The Javan Langur monkey, found mostly in the mangrove, beach and freshwater swamp forests of Indonesia, is in danger of extinction. It has never been more important to protect this striking animal. And you can do so today through the Aspinall Foundation - by adopting a monkey quickly and easily online.

The orang-utan could be the first great ape to become extinct if urgent action is not taken to protect the species from human encroachment in South-east Asia, reports the Independent newspaper.

You can make a huge difference as well as giving a great gift by sponsoring a monkey through WWF.
