The golden langur (Trachypithecus geei) is among the most unique and visually captivating primates found in South Asia. This endangered primate is native to a small area in north-western Assam, India, and parts of Bhutan. Because its habitat is so limited, it is considered endemic, meaning it is not naturally found anywhere else on Earth. This species is admired for its distinctive golden fur and tree-dwelling lifestyle. However, despite its beauty and ecological value, the golden langur is under serious threat from habitat loss, human expansion, and environmental pressures. As a result, protecting this species has become a major focus for conservationists.
