Hanuman langur<br />

ESB Annual Report <strong>2007</strong> - <strong>2008</strong><br />

The status <strong>of</strong> the population <strong>of</strong> Hanuman langurs has been stable over the last 4 years.<br />

The number <strong>of</strong> animals within the Ceylon langur population is declining, <strong>and</strong> as the keeping institutions want to give up this species, the Ceylon<br />

langurs will vanish from <strong>European</strong> zoos.<br />

In <strong>2007</strong> two new institutions started to keep Hanuman langurs, none in <strong>2008</strong>. Some new breeding groups will be started <strong>and</strong> existing groups are<br />

expected to build up their numbers in the coming years. So altogether the situation for the population <strong>of</strong> Hanuman langurs is good.<br />
