Ha Tinh Langur calling
This amazing UNESCO site is well worth a visit managed to photograph this Langur, missed it when one crossed the road right in front of us earlier. Some of the hillsides tell a chastening tale - Agent Orange was used liberally to defoliate the primary rainforest in the late 1960's & early 1970's. See below for a spot the difference photo, 50 years plus after the event.
The Hatinh langur is a highly threatened Old World monkey found in limestone forests in Vietnam, primarily in the Quảng Bình Province. They are a primarily black, arboreal, and diurnal monkey. They occupy dense forests which contribute to their decline as a result of habitat fragmentation. They're also subject to hunting from humans which further contributes to their endangered status.
