Zhayynn James: " A lion-tailed macaque photographed in a coffee plantation. This species was once listed among the 25 most endangered primates on the planet, because of habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, environmental degradation and other causes. In the Western Ghats, tea and coffee plantations are responsible for loss of prime habitat of this species and many other endemic species. However thanks to the efforts of local governments and NGOs, the species has stabilised and no longer features on that list. "
Golden Lion Tamarin.
Daniel Rosengren: " A Blue Monkey in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. "
Sachin Rai: " Stump tailed macaques are absolutely fascinating to watch. Though I have had the privilege to see them only once till now, I did spend more than an hour that morning with the troop. The 50 plus individuals of that troop kept feeding on the dense forest floor and we walked with them and sit at a distance while they fed, admiring them for that whole hour. I so want to see these guys again some day :). "
Sachin Rai: " Indri, the largest lemur of the world. All lemurs are endemic to the large island of Madagascar and it is surely one of my favourite destinations. "
Zhayynn James: " In 2017 I visited Assam in the North-East of India for the first time. It was an amazing experience encompassing Kaziranga National Park, Nameri Tiger Reserve & Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary. This is where I encountered a troop of stump-tailed macaques, foraging one the forest floor amidst the dense vegetation. It was an incredibly moving experience to be surrounded by a troop, often well within arms length, that weren’t the least bit concerned of the presence of a group of photographers. No alarm, no threat, no scurrying out of the way. They just went about their foraging peacefully. Being primarily ground dwellers, I took this image of this individual clinging to a tree, when it turned its face, a soulful look in its eyes.
As is often the case, the species is under threat and is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Redlist. "
