Conservation Assists in Golden Langur Conservation
Assam,
India - Community Conservation Executive Director, Robert Horwich
has been working with regional Non-governmental organizations and
local communities to protect the endangered Golden Langur, threatened
by illegal logging in the forests of the Manas Biosphere Reserve
in western Assam, India. Each Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)
works with communities adjacent to the Reserve Forests or protected

programs. The strategy can be easiest seen when looking at the southern
"island" forests of Chakrashila Wildlife Sanctuary, and Nadangiri
and Kakoijana Reserve Forests where the participating villages surround
the protected areas. More...

By shifting some of our energies from working directly with the
communities to this more efficient strategy, we can effect major
