Cat Ba Island is the world’s only natural habitat of the langur. In the 1960s, nearly 3,000 lived on the island, but at present, fewer than 70 individuals survive. The Cat Ba Langur Conservation Project has worked for 12 years to protect this critically endangered monkey and contribute to the conservation of Cat Ba archipelago’s biodiversity.-VNA
